  • CAU signs LETTER OF INTENT with Yasham Bioscience a subsidiary of diversified Indian company Yasham Group

  • Indian cosmetic and toiletries market valued at USD950 million growing at 20% per annum

CollTech is pleased to announce the finalisation of a LETTER OF INTENT (‘LOI’) with Yasham Bioscience, the subsidiary of diversified Indian company Yasham Group (www.yasham.in). The LOI will see CollTech’s unique sheep sourced collagen on a fast track rollout in the highly lucrative Indian cosmetics market.

Yasham Bioscience in conjunction with CollTech will market OVICOLL[® ] immediately and aggressively including at next month’s “In-Cosmetics India”, the largest cosmetics ingredients show in India.

The Indian cosmetic and toiletries market is valued at USD950 million and is growing at 15%-20% per year. Collagen is seen as a proven performer in the cosmetics sector and CollTech’s sheep sourced collagen provides cosmetic manufacturers in India with a significant competitive edge.

CollTech’s General Manager Dr. Deborah Cooper said “OVICOLL[®] continues to receive significant interest from major cosmetic distributors and manufacturers. This illustrates the competitive strengths of OVICOLL[®] in the eyes of the market that see the products’ superior moisturising capability and range of uses as key to capturing the value in emerging consumer trends globally”.

Sales Director Glenn Smith remarked “OVICOLL[®] has now entered nine key markets globally via various agreements or direct sales. India is a significant market that will allow CollTech to drive sales of OVICOLL[® ] forward through 2008. We are delighted to have Yasham Bioscience as our strategic partner in India”.

The LOI provides for the parties to finalise negotiations towards a full distribution agreement and conclude the official requirements to allow importation of OVICOLL[®] into India whilst commencing initial marketing activities.
