OC&C Support Acquisition of Joolz by Bugaboo

We are pleased to have supported the recent acquisition of Joolz by Bugaboo, a portfolio company of Mubadala Capital.

Founded in 2004, Joolz is a fast-growing premium baby products brand, known for its award-winning strollers and accessories. The company has established a strong presence in its home market of the Netherlands, as well as across Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and the U.S. Joolz’s product range includes the Aer, Day, Geo, and Hub models, and the brand is recognised for its distinctive design and commitment to sustainability, with B Corp certification pending.

Bugaboo, a global leader in premium strollers and parenting solutions, was acquired by Mubadala Capital in 2024. The acquisition of Joolz aligns with Bugaboo’s strategy to strengthen its position as a leader in the juvenile products sector.

We are proud to have provided strategic support in this transaction, leveraging our extensive expertise in the Juvenile sector to facilitate a successful outcome.
