Prime Matter Labs acquires troubled US makeup manufacturer Mana Products from Traub Capital

Prime Matter Labs has acquired Mana Products, a struggling makeup contract manufacturer, from Traub Capital. The deal concludes a troubled period for Mana Products, which furloughed employees and explored sale options before shutting down operations. Mana Products is amongst the largest colour cosmetics manufacturers in the United States, with operations spanning makeup, skincare and haircare. Sources estimate skincare accounted for roughly a third of the company's business, part of Traub Capital's strategy to diversify category exposure. Prime Matter Labs is backed by Monogram Capital. Women's Wear Daily first reported the employee furlough, sale exploration and acquisition.
