24 GHP Q2 2025 On a mission to revolutionise the beverage industry, ViCAP is the company behind the world’s only dispenser sports-cap system. The development of its proprietary ViCAP solution started in 2005, and in the 20 years since, the company has not only brought this solution to the market to great avail, but it has also leveraged its experience in developing and marketing a consumer product to offer a range of tailored consulting services to partner brands. Recognised as the Best Healthcare Beverage Packaging Innovator 2025, we take a closer look at ViCAP below. The team behind ViCAP came up with the idea for their company’s namesake functional bottle-cap solution following the release of a drink by Aqua Nova. This drink contained Q12, but the problem was that it had an incredibly short life due to this and the other vitamins and ingredients it contained becoming diluted after prolonged exposure to the water. To combat this, the ViCAP solution was conceptualised as a way to separate the active ingredients in the drink from the liquid, until such a time when the drink was ready for consumption. From these humble origins, ViCAP exploded into the beverage packaging market, taking it by storm. Offering the best way for companies to protect the vital ingredients of their liquids until the moment a customer drinks them, this pioneering solution is the 21st century equivalent of the aluminium can when it comes to measuring industry breakthroughs. Functional and convenient, this solution is guided by a sustainable focus and a commitment to ensuring that beverages don’t lose either potency or taste. After all, no matter how effective a beverage claims to be, scientific studies have shown that the vitamins, natural ingredients, and other time-sensitive supplements they have within will lose their efficacy once contact is made with the base liquid – as well as with light and oxygen in the case of transparent bottles. However, thanks to its simple three-step solution, ViCAP puts a permanent end to these concerns, ushering in a new era of freshness. As for how the ViCAP system works, its bottle caps have a builtin compartment that holds the vitamins and active ingredients contained within the drink, and caps are delivered with this signature closure system set and ready to go. When a customer comes to drink the beverage, it is as simple as pushing down the top of the cap to puncture the bottom layer of this compartment, releasing the contents into the liquid below. The person then shakes the bottle to mix the beverage, before pulling the spout and enjoying the drink. With their novel system to boot, ViCAP has gone from strength to strength over the years, building partnerships with like-minded brands, securing some major clients, and even working on new products in the vein of its original dispenser sports-cap system. One of the most exciting developments has been the brand’s partnership with KA-EX, a fellow pioneer in the functional beverage market. This collaboration has resulted in a new bottle and cap, with these setting the standard for innovation and experience in this space. Yet another example of a transformative partnership nurtured by ViCAP can be seen through its collaboration with Birstonas Mineral Water, a company famous for the quality of the bottled water it provides to the Baltic nations. Serving as somewhat of an experimental partnership, this venture is designed to highlight ViCAP’s capabilities in designing a functional bottle cap that adheres to the latest quality control standards. These are just two examples of discerning brands that made the right decision by choosing to partner with ViCAP, a company with a solution that is perfect for separating any two elements prior to the moment of use. This makes its system beneficial for not only the beverage industry, but also the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. As mentioned above, the team here, having been through this process themselves, offer support on everything from launching a new product to redesigning a brand’s existing packaging. Celebrated as the Best Healthcare Beverage Packaging Innovator 2025 in this feature, the exemplary nature of ViCAP Global AG can be seen through its solution topping the bottles of sports-drink brands such a WOW Hydrate, which boasts such ambassadors as Kevin De Bruyne, Tyson Fury, and Harry McGuire.
