History

Bay Area (pictured in 2005), with PowerBar sign just recognizable, at top of high rise in downtown Berkeley (center left)

The PowerBar company was founded by Brian Maxwell, a Canadian athlete and entrepreneur, along with Jennifer Biddulph, and Mike McCollum. They started in Maxwell's kitchen, where they formulated the recipe using the knowledge of Jennifer Biddulph, a nutritionist. The two would eventually marry. They used $55,000 in cash to launch the company in 1986 in Berkeley, California. This was the first "energy bar" for use during competition by endurance athletes, such as ultramarathoners and cyclists.[2] They eventually acquired a headquarters building in downtown Berkeley.[citation needed]

The company eventually reached $150 million in sales before being purchased by Nestlé in 2000 for $375 million.[2] In February 2007, PowerBar moved its headquarters from Berkeley, California, to the Nestlé headquarters in Glendale, California.[citation needed]

On February 3, 2014, Post Holdings announced it had reached an agreement to acquire PowerBar, Musashi and related worldwide assets from Nestlé.[3] In 2021, PowerBar regained control of their brand and became a registered trademark of Premier Nutrition Company, LLC.[1]
