PARIS — L’Oréal said Tuesday it has finalized the acquisition of Niely Cosmeticos Group in Brazil. The French beauty giant, which announced the deal in September, described Niely as the largest independent hair-color and hair-care company in Brazil. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. In 2014, Niely generated revenue of 406 million Brazilian reals, or $173.4 million at average exchange for the year. The firm’s two main brands are Cor & Ton for color and Niely Gold for shampoo and care. Niely’s distribution includes supermarkets, pharmacies, perfumeries and wholesalers. “A strategic move for L’Oréal in Brazil and [the] Spanish-speaking Latin American zone, the acquisition of Niely Cosmeticos will complement the products offered by L’Oréal’s Consumer Products Division in Brazil,” stated the company. Daniel Fonseca de Jesus founded Niely in 1981. It has industrial and logistics facilities based in Nova Iguaçu, part of the greater Rio de Janeiro area.
