Raw Nutrition Parent Tops €850M in H1 Revenue

The Quality Group, which also owns Bum Energy and German giant ESN, grew revenue by more than 40% as it expands across products, channels and international markets

The Quality Group, the German nutrition company that owns U.S. sports nutrition brands Raw Nutrition and Bum Energy, generated more than €850 million ($970 million) in revenue during the first half of 2026, representing growth of over 40% compared with the same period last year.

The performance puts TQG on pace to significantly exceed the €1 billion in annual revenue it reported in 2025, as demand for protein, supplements and other better-for-you nutrition products continues to rise in the U.S. and Europe.

The CVC Capital Partners-backed company said growth was broad-based across its four brands — Raw Nutrition, Bum Energy, ESN and More Nutrition — and supported by new product categories, expanded retail and digital distribution and a growing international footprint.

“Consumers are choosing better nutritional alternatives to support their well-being and performance,” TQG CEO Heikki Takala said. “Our strategy is to bring these better alternatives to more people, in more usage occasions, in more channels and more countries.”

TQG entered the North American market through a partnership with Raw Nutrition, the fast-growing supplement brand led by CEO Dom Iacovone and bodybuilding legend Chris Bumstead. As part of the transaction, Iacovone and Bumstead became co-owners of TQG.

Raw Nutrition sells protein powders, pre-workout products, creatine and other sports nutrition offerings and has been recognized as a top-performing brand by retailers including GNC and The Vitamin Shoppe. Bum Energy, associated with Bumstead, competes in the booming functional energy drink category.

TQG said its integrated platform, which includes in-house product development and manufacturing, helped it navigate inflation and volatility in protein and other raw material costs during the first half of the year.

The company said it plans to launch additional products and concepts during the second half of 2026 while continuing to expand across markets and distribution channels. It’s also investing in manufacturing operations in northern Germany and building out its global capabilities.

Headquartered in Elmshorn, Germany, TQG employs more than 1,600 people.
