Avallon MBO and Inglot Join Forces to Accelerate the Global Expansion of a Leading Beauty Brand
Avallon MBO, a private equity company specialising in management buyouts, has invested in Inglot, one of Poland’s most recognized beauty brands with a significant international presence.
The transaction involves the acquisition of a majority stake and reflects Avallon MBO’s strong belief in the potential of Polish brands to build and strengthen their global position. Avallon brings extensive experience in supporting family‑business succession, organisational transformation, and long‑term value creation alongside founders, owners, and management teams.
Under the leadership of the next generation of the founding family, supported by Avallon MBO’s expertise, Inglot will continue to build on the same foundations that have shaped its global success: Polish heritage, in‑house manufacturing, creative independence, and uncompromising quality.
Inglot is among a select group of Polish brands that have successfully established a global presence and strong brand recognition. Built over more than 40 years, the company now operates across international markets, leveraging a business model based on proprietary manufacturing, product innovation, creative independence, and a strong brand position.
The partnership with Avallon MBO is intended to support the next phase of business scaling, including further international expansion, organic growth, and investments in organisational capabilities, technology, and operational platform development. Inglot’s growth strategy focuses on international expansion, broadening its product portfolio, and strengthening e‑commerce and omnichannel capabilities. Poland will remain one of the company’s key growth markets.
“This transaction is designed to support the continued scaling of the business, further professionalisation of the organisation, and the development of capabilities required to drive growth in international markets. For our business partners, it means continuity of cooperation within the existing operating model, combined with new opportunities to grow alongside the brand. Planned investments in product development, sales enablement tools, and competitive capabilities are intended to support revenue growth and further expansion across all channels,” said Agnieszka Pakulska, Partner at Avallon MBO and the lead on the transaction.
“This marks another important milestone in our development journey. Bringing on board a partner such as Avallon enables us to accelerate the execution of our strategic objectives and scale the business more rapidly across international markets. We gain access to valuable operational expertise and know‑how that will support the continued professionalisation of the organisation. Operationally, we are not planning any revolution. Our focus remains on consistently developing each area of the business, strengthening sales channels, and capturing new growth opportunities. I believe this partnership will help Inglot enter the next stage of professionalisation and development—an ambition I have pursued for many years,” said Grzegorz Inglot, CEO of Inglot.
The transaction aligns with Avallon MBO’s strategy of partnering with companies that have strong market positions, recognised brands, and significant growth potential, working closely with founders, owners, and management teams to unlock long‑term value.

“I will remain actively involved in the management of the company and will continue to contribute to its development as CEO and shareholder,” added Grzegorz Inglot. “The family will also remain an important part of the company’s ownership and governance structure. My sister, Milena Inglot, will continue serving on the Management Board, while our father, Zbigniew Inglot, will represent the family on the Supervisory Board. Existing family shareholders, Elżbieta Inglot and Barbara Inglot, will also remain involved both as shareholders and in expert roles within the organisation.”
Industry forecasts project the global beauty market to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of between 3.4% and 7% through 2030, with total market value expected to exceed USD 800 billion. In Poland, the beauty market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of approximately 6–7%.
Consumers are increasingly focused on product quality and ingredient transparency, seeking not only makeup products but also skincare‑oriented solutions that support skin health and overall condition. Demand continues to rise for science‑led products backed by proven formulations and research‑based efficacy.
Closing of the transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected following the summer holiday period.
