Sprout Organic is officially part of NGS
We’re excited to share that Nutritional Growth Solutions (ASX: NGS) has completed its acquisition of Sprout Organic, following strong shareholder support at our Annual General Meeting in August 2026.
Sprout, along with its logistics arm Better Brands 3PL, now sits within the Better Brands Global family. It’s a milestone that brings two purpose-driven children’s nutrition brands together under one roof.
Meet our new leadership
Selasi Berdie, the founder of Sprout, has stepped up as Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director. Selasi launched Australia’s first certified organic, plant-based infant formula in 2021, and now leads the next phase of growth for the whole group.
Joining him is Joel Dening as Chief Operating Officer. Joel spent 14 years at sports nutrition brand BSc (Body Science), rising to Global Commercial Director. He brings deep experience across the same retail channels Sprout sells through, including Chemist Warehouse, Coles and Woolworths.
Manik Pujara, who guided the company through the transaction as Interim CEO, continues on the Board as a Non-Executive Director, alongside Chairman Andrew Grover.
What this means
The group now covers nutrition from the very first months through to the school years, with two complementary brands:
- Sprout Organic: the world’s first certified organic, 100% plant-based infant formula made to the FSANZ standard, plus toddler, kids and snack ranges sold in more than 1,000 retail stores across Australia and export markets.
- Healthy Heights: a clinically studied growth nutrition range for children aged three and over.
Together with Better Brands 3PL, our third-party logistics business, we have the products, channels and capabilities to reach more families than ever.
Looking ahead
“Completion brings together complementary products, channels and capabilities across infant, toddler and children’s nutrition,” said Sel. “I look forward to working with the Board and team to integrate the businesses and pursue the growth ahead of us.”
It’s an exciting time for the team, and this is only the beginning.
Thank you to our partners, retailers and customers for your support. We can’t wait to share what comes next.
