At the Cologne, we are participating in one of the largest fitness festivals in Europe. Despite our stand being small, it is causing quite a stir and we are gaining many new customers and B2B partners.

After expansions into neighbouring countries, we are continuing to the east and the west. We are launching e‑shops and distribution centres in the UK and Romania. This year we want to expand further: amongst others, into the largest economy in the world.

After a short break, we're returning to Prague with a bang. We're opening our first health store - a supermarket where label reading is not needed because everything in your basket is guaranteed to be top quality. You'll find an almost complete Vilgain menu complemented by fresh food from local suppliers - including meat, dairy, fruit, vegetables and baked goods. We're also expanding with a new, spacious office at the store to accomadate our ever‑growing vilgain team.

Our goal was to create the best possible product in the "snickers" category. And after a year and a half of development, we have succeeded! The two‑layer protein bar with peanuts and real caramel breaks all our previous sales records. In 2024, we will be adding a hazelnut cream and coconut version.

We have enjoyed collaborating with others and have gained valuable experience along the way. However, we recently decided to bring the production of our baked and unbaked bars in‑house. This has enabled us to create and release over 50 new bars. By having complete control over the production process, from selecting ingredients to delivering the final product, we are able to maintain the highest quality standards and fulfil our commitment to providing you with the best possible product.

We didn't want to become complacent, so we decided to expand our business beyond the borders of the Czech Republic and Slovakia. We ventured into the German, Austrian, Polish, and Hungarian markets, and we have no plans to stop there. By the end of the year, we aim to launch in more countries and continue growing our business.

With the opening of our own R&D premises in Brno Líšeň, we’re now able to develop new products in‑house. Having both R&D and production in one place has enabled us to launch our products faster.

Better late than never, we finally celebrate our 10th anniversary and what a journey so far! This has culminated with us moving into our new headquarters and merging with our manufacturing company, which means all our products are now offered under the Vilgain brand.

After 7 years, we relocated to a brand‑new distribution‑production centre in CTPark Brno Líšeň. This move allowed us to consolidate our production, warehouse, and offices, bringing them all together under one roof. Our team of developers, led by Jakub Horký, is currently working on developing an in‑house warehouse management system. It includes a semi‑automatic conveyor belt that will make shipping faster and more affordable for our customers.

We are expanding our operations by opening new offices in Prague's Karlín district by the end of the summer. Additionally, we are implementing remote and hybrid work models, as our workforce  grows by 47%.

At Vilgain, we are big fans of sportswear and many of us wear it regularly. This led us to consider offering our own unique take on athleisure fashion. We brought on Kristina Isikli to lead the design of our clothing line. Manufacturing began in Turkey, and we are gradually expanding to additional countries such as Portugal, China, and Vietnam.

After launching our e‑shop, we quickly realised that the products we were reselling on the market were not up to the quality standards that we wanted to offer our customers. In order to provide the absolute best products, we decided to create them ourselves. This led us to consolidate everything under the Vilgain brand with the goal of expanding globally.

Our mission is to create high‑quality products for health‑conscious, motivated individuals that will help them achieve their health and fitness goals without any obstacles.

During the Covid‑19 pandemic, we saw a huge increase in demand and responded to the changing global situation by closing brick‑and‑mortar stores and changing the way we do business with a shift to the more online‑centric world.

We have recently launched our own line of Whey Protein and Protein Bars after a thorough research and development process. To our delight, both products have become instant bestsellers in our online store. Our Protein Bar has achieved an impressive feat by becoming the top‑selling protein bar in the Czech Republic within just two months of its release.

We have expanded our warehouse, which now has a total of 1700 square metres of space. Additionally, we have introduced a new "Natural Cosmetics" category to our range. We recognize the importance of quality, research, and testing when it comes to these products. This understanding will help us to continue adding more products to our ever‑expanding range.

The first meet & greet in Brno and Prague.

Michal Hubík amicably parted ways with his partner Honza Kern, and buys out his share in the company becoming the sole owner.

With a fully localised website, we enter Slovakia's market in full force.

Our team is also growing - the capacity of our offices in Tkalcovská is on the verge of bursting. We set up a new office space on Smetanova Street in the centre of Brno.

Interest in our e‑shop is increasing. We are opening a new store in Brno with a pick‑up service (from more than 10.000 stock items) within 10 minutes.

The Vilgain brand was founded by one of the co‑founders of Aktin, the most influential health and fitness brand in the Czech Republic. Vilgain was initially known as R3ptile, which was an experimental project aimed at producing the highest quality food available on the market.
