MidEuropa has agreed to acquire a significant minority stake in OSHEE, one of Europe’s fastest-growing functional beverage brands.

The London-headquartered investor will partner with OSHEE’s founders, Dariusz Galezewski and Dominik Dolinski, who will retain majority ownership and continue to lead the business. The transaction remains subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to close in 2026.

OSHEE is the clear leader in Poland’s functional beverage market, spanning isotonic drinks, vitamin waters, and energy beverages. The brand is present in more than 50 countries and has built one of the most international footprints among Polish FMCG companies. Management plans to continue investing in core categories while expanding into adjacent segments as it scales across Europe.

For MidEuropa, the investment reflects a familiar playbook: backing founder-led consumer brands with strong domestic positions and supporting their internationalisation through operational expertise and network reach. The firm brings experience in consumer and branded products, alongside a track record of scaling businesses across Western Europe.

The UK is emerging as a key growth market. OSHEE has significantly strengthened its position there over the past year and intends to deepen its presence further with MidEuropa’s support. At the same time, the company is pursuing M&A opportunities in another major Western European market, signalling that bolt-on acquisitions could form part of its next growth chapter.

“OSHEE combines a powerful brand, strong management team and clear growth strategy. We look forward to working with the Founders to support the company in accelerating its international expansion while continuing to strengthen the business operationally,” said Pawel Malicki, Partner at MidEuropa.

The founders framed the deal as a turning point in the company’s evolution. “Our growing presence in the UK and our LaLiga partnership across 43 European countries show that our ambitions extend well beyond Poland. OSHEE is on a path to becoming the leading European brand in functional drinks and, over time, a meaningful global player. That ambition is what drives us every day.”
