About

A UK-based start-up company, already established in the health and wellbeing industry with a range of youth-oriented supplement products and associated digital platform, is seeking to establish links with suitable suppliers in manufacture and/or distribution of protein and energy bar-type products within Europe (companies can do one or both options).

The existing formulations can be manufactured in the UK and comply with European certifications and we would like to explore manufacturing and distribution from outside the UK. The company is a UK health and wellbeing start-up, specialising in the health and fitness of young people (ostensibly 13 – 19), with a digital engagement platform and supplement formulations scientifically crafted with youth development and health in mind.

The current product offering provides age-designed products that ‘evolve as you grow’, meeting the varying requirements of these key stages of physical and mental development. Products are vegetarian / vegan based on the specific protein sources, which is key to the brand formulation (i.e. not bovine) and do not contain collagen. Energy bars would be oriented around natural stimulants, like those of the brand's energy drinks.
