Ownership & Acquisition History
Nutritics is not currently confirmed to be controlled by a private equity firm; Kester Capital invested in January 2026 but is described as a minority investment rather than a controlling acquisition.
Notes
- Nutritics’ own company history states it launched in 2013 and was founded by brothers Ciarán and Damian O’Kelly.
- Nutritics and Kester Capital both announced an investment/partnership in January 2026, but neither announcement states Kester acquired a controlling/majority stake.
- A healthcare/PE news source explicitly characterizes Kester’s deal as a minority investment, which implies Nutritics is not PE-controlled under the user’s definition.
- Renatus Capital Partners’ deal note describes Nutritics as previously majority owned by the founders and CEO Stephen Nolan, supporting the view that founders/management were the controlling owners pre-deal; no source found stating Kester now controls the company.
