Starco Brands STCB

Starco Brands, Inc. develops, acquires, and markets consumer product brands across beverage, personal care, nutrition, and fragrance categories. The company focuses on creating behavior changing products and leverages a licensing agreement with The Starco Group for manufacturing support. Through strategic acquisitions, it has added established brands such as Whipshots, Art of Sport, Skylar and Soylent to its portfolio.
