RAW Nutrition Joins Forces with The Quality Group in Category-Defining Co-Ownership and Partnership
This alliance combines two like-minded companies that emphasize a shared priority of delivering the highest standards in quality and innovation in the nutrition sector. The Quality Group, with its two leading brands, ESN and More Nutrition, brings in its proven expertise in cutting-edge production and quality, supporting RAW Nutrition in sustainably scaling its brand.
Both companies share a strong focus on community and athletes. As part of this shared commitment, Chris Bumstead – Co-Owner of RAW Nutrition, six-time Mr. Olympia, and one of the most recognized names in the fitness world – will be working closely with The Quality Group to share his expertise in developing high-quality products that athletes and everyday consumers can benefit from. Chris’ second brand, BUM Energy – a dynamic energy drink label – will also become part of The Quality Group’s partnership portfolio.
“After many discussions with several global performance nutrition companies, we decided to enter a partnership with The Quality Group given that they understand all the opportunities and challenges that we’re about to face, and have navigated through them extremely successfully,” said Dom Iacovone, RAW Nutrition Co-Founder and CEO. “Going through our process, it was very important to me to find a strategic partner versus one that would just give us the most money. We have big goals at RAW Nutrition to build this brand as big as it can be and cooperating with The Quality Group is the first step to helping us navigate that.”
RAW Nutrition & The Quality Group: A New Chapter
Effective immediately, RAW Nutrition’s CEO and Co-Founder, Dom Iacovone, and co-owner Chris Bumstead will both become co-owners of The Quality Group.
In the coming months, RAW Nutrition will focus on growing their product offering and presence in the US market, reaching current and new consumers in new ways.
"Both RAW Nutrition and The Quality Group are rooted in strong communities,” said Heikki Takala, CEO of The Quality Group. “Just as RAW Nutrition engages and fuels athletes in the US, The Quality Group’s brands ESN and More Nutrition engage and enable a loyal, performance-driven customer base in Europe. This strategic partnership enables us to elevate our commitment to our communities, and we are excited to get to join forces with Dom and Chris Bumstead, who are successful entrepreneurs. Chris is a true global icon in our industry, and we believe this is great news for our community.”
RAW Nutrition and The Quality Group will remain independent partners as they seek to build long-term value for their consumers. Lazard acted as financial advisor and Fredrikson & Byron P.A. acted as legal advisor to RAW Nutrition.
