Wesley Jessen also said Friday that it was continuing its discussions with a third party over a possible purchase of both it and Ocular Sciences, but in a statement, the company warned that "there can be no assurance that they will lead to any agreements or understandings, or if any agreements or understandings are reached, that any transactions will be consummated." The talks were announced last month. There is much speculation that the third parties could be Johnson & Johnson or lens care product makers Allergan ( AGN ) or Alcon Laboratories, a subsidiary of Nestle ( NSRGY ) of Switzerland. Olsziewski makes the case that Alcon/Nestle, Wesley Jessen and Ocular Sciences could benefit from tremendous synergies. Wesley Jessen makes cosmetic lenses that change or enhance the wearer's color and Nestle holds a stake in cosmetic giant L'Oreal. "Contact lenses are as much a fashion business as anything else, since cosmetic lenses are the second-largest growth segment," he said. "This makes Alcon more palatable."
