Sponser Sport Food has set the course for its next phase of development

A group of Swiss investors, including Philippe Bubb and Samuel Wenger, has acquired a majority stake in Sponser Sport Food AG, positioning the company for its next phase of growth. The transaction ensures the retention of jobs and the production site on Lake Zurich, Switzerland.

Sponser, headquartered in Wollerau, is a Swiss provider of sports nutrition and dietary supplements for performance and endurance sports. Founded in 1988, the company develops and manufactures its products in Switzerland. Its products are used by both professional athletes and recreational sports enthusiasts across a wide range of disciplines. Sponser employs approximately 60 people and operates from locations in Wollerau and Lindau.

The investor group, including entrepreneurs Philippe Bubb and Samuel Wenger, is supporting the continued development of the company and the expansion of its sports nutrition and dietary supplement offering. Samuel Wenger will assume the previously vacant CEO position. Most recently, he served as COO at On and brings extensive experience in the international consumer goods sector.

Oaklins’ team in Switzerland acted as the exclusive sell-side advisor to the shareholders and management of Sponser, securing an optimal outcome for all parties while maintaining a strong focus on confidentiality and alignment.
