The Village Company, a privately held manufacturer and marketer of personal care products, announced that it has acquired the global assets and rights associated with the Soft & Dri, La Bella, Dep, Pure & Natural, Mink Difference, Adorn, and The Dry Look brands from High Ridge Brands. Terms and conditions of the transaction were not disclosed.

“We are thrilled to acquire these iconic brands and to expand The Village Company portfolio of personal care products,” said Paul Norton, CEO of The Village Company.  “We look forward to integrating these brands into our organization and are excited about the potential that this acquisition brings to our company.
