Who Owns Bang Energy?
Jack Owoc is the founder of Vital Pharmaceuticals. He has been the head of the company since 1993 when he founded the business. We don’t have information on the percent ownership of the company that Owoc owns since it is private, but we can assume it is sizeable.
Owoc was a high school science teacher prior to establishing 1Vital Pharmaceuticals. His ability to combine a scientific approach to develop products along with a keen awareness of consumer demand have been major reasons why the company has been so successful. Owoc learned from his past mistakes of recommending other people’s supplements that label claims were not always accurate.
For example, he once recommended an egg protein supplement to clients and had its ingredients tested when they weren’t achieving desirable results. The test results revealed that this egg protein supplement actually had no protein at all! His experiences with purported misrepresentations of labeling inspired him to create his own supplement company based on thorough testing and top-notch standards.
Publicly Traded Energy Drink Companies
Since Bang Energy is not an option for investment at this time, here are a few publicly traded alternatives that you may wish to research for potential investment:
- Monster (MNST) – Hansen Natural Company launched this energy drink in 2002. The company changed its name to Monster in 2012 after the success of the brand. Monster falls only behind Red Bull for the top selling energy drink in the United States. Monster also owns other energy drink brands such as NOS and Full Throttle.

- Coca-Cola (KO) – Coca-Cola has a partnership and investment stake in Monster but has recently ended its North America production of Coke Energy. Speculation has been circulating for years that Coca-Cola would one day acquire Monster in full.
