Vitaquest International LLC, a New Jersey-based contract manufacturer of dietary supplements and nutraceuticals and a member of the CK Life Sciences International, Inc. group, has appointed Tim Condron as CEO, effective Apr. 1, 2026.

Condron, who previously served as president and COO of BestCo Inc., has more than two decades of executive leadership in regulated manufacturing environments, with a record of scaling operations, building high-performance teams, and driving sustained commercial growth.

“Tim’s combination of regulatory expertise, operational rigor, and commercial leadership makes him ideally suited to build on the strong foundation Vitaquest has established,” said Alan Yu, deputy chairman of CK Life Sciences. “We are confident he will accelerate the company’s growth, deepen customer partnerships, and continue to deliver exceptional value across the organization.”

During his tenure at BestCo, Condron led a significant strategic transformation as the organization evolved from food-standard confectionery manufacturing to full compliance with FDA drug and supplement regulations. At the same time, he expanded commercial relationships across major CPG brands and leading retailers in the food, drug, mass, and club channels.

Trained as a chemical engineer with additional qualifications in management accounting, Condron is also a Certified Six Sigma Master Black Belt, reflecting a foundation in data-driven operational excellence.

“Vitaquest has built a strong reputation for quality, innovation, and partnership across the supplement industry,” said Condron. “As we move forward, our focus is clear: putting our customers at the center of everything we do, delivering disruptive innovation that fuels their growth, and continuing to build a workplace where our people can thrive. I look forward to working closely with our customers and our team to shape the next chapter of Vitaquest’s success.”

Vitaquest’s 2026 strategy is anchored in three core priorities: driving customer-centricity in all aspects of the business, accelerating innovation that enables meaningful growth for its partners, and strengthening its position as an employer of choice across its platform.

Condron succeeds Patrick Brueggman, who is retiring after eight years of service to Vitaquest. Brueggman will continue to support the company in an advisory capacity, providing strategic counsel during the leadership transition.
