BOCA RATON, Fla., Aug. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- New Water Capital (New Water) announced today the completion of the sale of Trillium Health Care Products (Trillium), a leading contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) of branded over-the-counter (OTC) products in North America, to Avista Healthcare Partners (Avista). Transaction terms were not disclosed.

Based in Brockville, Ontario, Trillium is a trusted partner to leading North American and global consumer healthcare and pharmaceutical companies.

"We appreciate all the hard work and investment by the New Water and Trillium teams to position Trillium for rapid future growth."

"The support and significant investment New Water provided Trillium has set us apart from our competition. We see significant market opportunities and are excited for our next phase of growth with Avista, a growth-oriented partner with sector expertise in consumer healthcare."

Trillium was New Water's sixth investment in its inaugural fund and marks another successful exit representing New Water's strategy of partnering with businesses in transition to transform them into leading platforms in their categories.
