PBC invests in D’Arcy Laboratories

June 14, 2005

Palm Beach Capital today announced that it has made an equity investment in D’Arcy Laboratories. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

D’Arcy Laboratories, founded in 1979 and based in Pompano Beach, Florida, is pioneering technologically advanced skin and hair care formulas to meet the demands of the luxury market. The company uses micro-manufacturing guidelines—a quality standard it calls “microstige”—to produce prestige products for elite consumers and leading beauty industry companies.

“The attractiveness of this investment stemmed from D’Arcy’s established record of highvolume sales and the quality of its management team,” said Shaun L. McGruder of Palm Beach Capital. “We feel that D’Arcy’s rigid manufacturing standards and extraordinary products give it a tremendous advantage over its competitors. This company is poised for dramatic growth in the near future.”

“Our partnership with Palm Beach Capital allows us to continue our rapid expansion and influence the beauty industry in a way that has never been possible before,” says Richard Nicolo, President and CEO of D’Arcy Laboratories. “We plan to expand our products and services to provide access to a larger consumer base.”

D’Arcy Laboratories develops and manufactures prestige personal care products on a micro scale—a standard it calls “microstige.” This belief that extraordinary products are developed with individual attention to detail and a hands-on approach to every stage of the production process has led to its reputation as a visionary product developer, and its status as a trusted fullservice manufacturer for many prominent beauty industry leaders. D’Arcy Laboratories is also the creator of the D’Arcy and Sassy Girl skin and hair care brands, and co-creator of Peter Coppola New York designer hair care products and Hello Beautiful professional skin care and cosmetics.
