Prozis is an internet-based Portuguese brand that pertains to the Prozis group and is active in the sports nutrition sector.[1] The company operates out of its main headquarters in Esposende, which also houses its research and development center, and for tax purposes is headquartered in Madeira Island’s special economic zone.[2] Prozis was founded in 2007 by Miguel Milhão.[3] In 2015, it employed over 230 people and had a revenue of more than 45 million euros.[4][5] By 2016, it was one of the biggest sports nutrition online stores in Europe, with over 800,000 registered and active customers across more than 100 markets.[6] As of 2024, the company operates in the United States as well and employs around 1,500 people worldwide. Prozis has also invested significantly in manufacturing, including the construction of a 20 million euros factory in South Carolina to support its growth in the US market.[7]
Besides selling sports supplements online and in large supermarket chains (like Continente in Portugal), it also produces them on a large scale at its production facility in Póvoa de Lanhoso, in which an amount of 5 million euros was invested.[6] In addition to supplements, the company designs and manufactures athletic apparel.[8] It is also famous for having a subsidiary in Zona Franca da Madeira, a Portuguese tax haven.
