Company Profile
Numark Brands was formed close to 30 years ago by former Johnson & Johnson management with the goal of acquiring non-core and tail brands and managing them for the long term.
Brand Management
Small brands can be managed more profitably in a small company setting than in a large company. From an accounting standpoint, large companies regularly understate the cost of handling their small brands. This becomes even clearer from a study on the management of small brands that Numark commissioned. In sum, it is more profitable for executives at large companies to spend their time on major brands rather than on smaller ones, and to consider divesting smaller brands.
Numark is actively seeking to add small OTC, HBA and Rx brands to its roster. If you have any opportunities to divest or partner, we would appreciate it if you would keep us in mind. Please contact, Khalil Daya, VP of Business Development.
