Vitamin Well Group in North America
Vitamin Well Group entered the US market in 2019 with the launch of NOCCO, followed by Barebells in 2020. Since then, Barebells has become a key driver of our growth in the region, growing into a well-established brand with its great-tasting protein bars now available in grocery stores, convenience stores, gyms and other retail channels across the US.
Building on this momentum and strong consumer demand, we brought Barebells to Canada in April 2024, where the brand quickly gained traction. With our continued expansion across the US and Canada, we are reaching more consumers and opening up new opportunities across the region.
Our North American team brings together people who are passionate about our brands, enjoy working together and thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment. With plenty of opportunities ahead, we continue to build our business and strengthen our presence across the region.
