Neptune serves distributors, retail outlets, grocery stores, and e-commerce channels including forestremedies.com and sproutorganics.com, with operations spanning Canada, the United States, and international markets. Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Laval, Quebec, Canada, the company targets consumers seeking plant-based, sustainable lifestyle brands in the nutraceuticals and organic foods segments. Recent developments include the appointment of Michael De Geus as interim president and CEO following Michael Cammarata's resignation in February 2024, alongside Cedrick Billequey as interim COO; Neptune increased its ownership in Sprout Organics to approximately 89.5% in 2023 via debt-to-equity exchange and retains Stifel to explore strategic alternatives such as monetization, partnerships, or divestitures for the unit; earlier efforts encompassed a non-binding letter of intent in 2023 to acquire Datasys Group for data-marketing and AI capabilities, a strategic review launched in 2023 aiming for pure-play CPG focus by 2024, and Nasdaq delisting proceedings.
