Dabur India's health and beauty tied up with labs in Italy

Dabur India's health and beauty retail subsidiary H&B Stores has tied up with labs in Italy, the UK and Thailand for developing some of its private labels as it gears up to open its outlets from next month.

The company, which is investing Rs 140 crore in the first three years of operations, is aiming to break even within this period and targeting Rs 1,000 crore revenue.

"Private labels will be a strong focus for the company and occupy around 10 per cent of shelf space across the board in the stores. We have tied up with companies outside India for research and development of private labels," H&B Stores Chief Executive Officer Peter Baker told PTI.

He said the company would also be outsourcing some of the functions through contract manufacturing for products under the 'New U' brand from domestic players.

On revenue target, Baker said the company is expecting sales of Rs 1,000 crore. "We expect to break even in next three years," he added.
