Continues strengthening the sports nutrition segment
Today Humble Group announced its 23rd acquisition this year, of the Slovenian manufacturer Bio Pak. Bio Pak is a manufacturer of innovative dietary supplements, primarily tablets and capsules, made by organic and natural raw materials. Furthermore, the company owns a large share of its value chain and manufactures both for clients and for its own private label products.
