Nazca Capital, a Spanish private equity firm specializing in investments in family-owned businesses, with over 26 years of experience and more than 100 transactions completed, acquired a majority stake in Aldous, Spain’s leading digital-native food supplements brand, through its Nazca Small Cap II fund. The transaction was announced on July 30, 2026. Founder and CEO Antonio Pellón retained a significant shareholding and continues to lead the business, while the transaction marked the exit of KM ZERO Food Innovation Hub, which had supported the company since 2020.

Founded in 2018 in Almonacid del Marquesado, Cuenca, Aldous built a portfolio of more than 80 products recognized for their quality, functionality, and scientific backing. It became the best-selling supplements brand in Spain on both Amazon and TikTok and was the first digital-native company in its sector to expand successfully into physical retail, with products available through Druni, El Corte Inglés, Herbolario Navarro, and Costco. The company has reached more than three million customers and continues to innovate, with new ranges including powdered supplements and ready-to-drink single-dose formats. Its sustainability proposition combines larger product formats, plastic-free packaging, and a commitment to creating employment in rural communities.

Nazca’s investment supports a growth plan that includes strengthening the brand across its existing channels, expanding the product offering, accelerating international growth, and building a new production facility in Almonacid del Marquesado, reinforcing Aldous’s long-standing commitment to job creation in its founding community of fewer than 500 inhabitants. The investment is Nazca’s fourth in the nutraceutical sector.
