This new venture aligns closely with our business and delivers exceptional value for our shared customers while increasing our footprint in the EU.”

“Joining Bioworld’s impressive ecosystem will accelerate our growth, allowing us to leverage its scale and support to reach more consumers with our comprehensive home solution.
