History

Bertrand Gachot - 1991 US GP

Hype Energy was first developed in 1993 by Ashley Roy, Nigel Spiro,[4][5] and Andrew Barshall[6] and backed by Hard Rock Cafe founder, Barry Cox.[7] Under Spiro and Managing Director David Harris, Hype Energy became heavily involved in motorsport by first sponsoring the Arrows Formula One team[8] and subsequently Benetton, Williams, a NASCAR outfit and several motorbike teams. Associated with the Formula One party lifestyle and with a strong presence in the paddock, Hype Energy committed to considerable amounts of sponsorship in an attempt to achieve global recognition and establish worldwide distribution

In 1997, having established a credible brand, Hype Corporation (the holding company) decided to pull back from the sport to focus on resolving manufacturing difficulties, which were restricting further growth.

During that same year, former Formula One racing driver and 24 Hours of Le Mans winner, Bertrand Gachot,[9] signed a distribution agreement with Hype Drinks in order to introduce the product to France. Gachot was one of a handful of distributors who remained committed to the brand and in 1998, he approached the Swiss licensor to buy the company holding the Hype Energy trademarks. In May 2000, after two years of negotiation, Gachot came to an agreement and restructured the company. Until 2000 Hype Drinks had four energy drinks in its portfolio: Hype MFP with a strawberry and cranberry flavour, Hype Energy Morning Rush with a citrus flavour, Hype Passion Attack with passion fruit and Hype Night Boost with peach. In May 2000, the company launched a new version of Hype Energy into selected markets. The culmination of 18 months of development, Hype Energy now used fresh fruit juice, contained ten vitamins and had no artificial colours or preservatives, as it was pasteurized.

The improved Hype Energy product gave the company a substantial boost. It was first launched in France and the Persian Gulf, then the US and Canada, and by 2001 it had achieved significant global growth. The Company's headquarters are located in the UAE, with Marketing Services being carried out from offices located in Spain.

Hype Drinks has had a heavy involvement in Formula 1, this due to Hype Drinks owner, Bertrand Gachot, being a former Formula 1 driver. Hype Energy has been an official partner of the Formula 1 team Sahara Force India from 2015 until 2018. Hype Energy provided products to Sahara Force India in every GP Race of the season and featured branding on the drivers panels and the inside of rear wing endplate. In the last race of the 2016 season in Abu Dhabi, Hype Energy additionally featured logos on: the side pods of the VJM09, the front, back and cockpit sides of the car and on the chest of the drivers' suits.
