WHO WE ARE

At Vitamin Well Group, we provide healthier and better tasting drinks, snacks, and protein products. Our main brands are Vitamin Well, NOCCO and Barebells, but we also own local brands such as Nobe, Smiling and Tyngre. Our business has continued to grow rapidly since Vitamin Well Group was founded in Sweden 2006 and we have a revenue of 4 billion SEK (~360M USD). We provide products in over 40 markets, with an HQ in Stockholm and offices in nine countries around Europe, USA, and Asia.

Our success is the result of a strong belief in ourselves and our products. We are a fast-paced and daring company, with a strong overarching strategy. And our journey has only just begun. That means we need more brains and hearts. More curious, collaborative, action-oriented and passionate people who thrive in a fast-paced environment. That is why we are currently looking for another colleague who is ready to take on new challenges together with us!

In the UK and Ireland, NOCCO launched in 2018 followed shortly after by Barebells. Today, the two brands are present across multiple channels including grocery, online, convenience and sport and fitness. Vitamin Well joined the portfolio as the third brand in April of 2023. Working across the portfolio means working together at a high pace with a focus on innovation and business advantages. It is the employees who make a difference every day and who are our main competitive advantage. But our journey has only just begun.
