Vitablend was founded by six entrepreneurs, and this spirit is still an important part of the Vitablend DNA. We closely work together, trust each other’s skills, strive for quality, and are constantly looking for new opportunities, based on scientific achievements as well as emerging market trends. Vitablend is a small organization, where people know each other, and each team member’s contribution is highly valued.
