The man behind Prodiscus!
Kai Vesa discovered disc golf in 1994 when the Vihioja disc golf course was established, and he has been passionate about the sport ever since. He has actively competed throughout this time and has made significant contributions to the growth of the sport.
In 2006, Finnish entrepreneur Kai Vesa embarked on a journey that would significantly impact the disc golf community. Initially, Prodiscus began as an importer of disc golf products. However, Kai's vision extended beyond distribution; he aspired to create a comprehensive line of high-quality disc golf equipment, including discs, bags, and accessories. This ambition led to the establishment of Prodiscus as Finland's first disc golf brand and manufacturer, proudly producing all its discs domestically.
Prodiscus quickly gained recognition for its durable and premium products, resonating with both amateur and professional players worldwide. The company's commitment to quality and innovation fostered a loyal following, solidifying its reputation in the global disc golf community.
Prodiscus has proudly supported numerous accomplished players, including Henna Blomroos, Kevin Jones and Luke Humphries: who all began their professional disc golf careers with Prodiscus sponsorship, later achieving significant success on the international stage.
Beyond individual sponsorships, Prodiscus has been instrumental in supporting events that foster community engagement and competitive play. Prodiscus partnered with the European Pro Tour for the 2023 season, underscoring its dedication to elevating the sport's profile across Europe. The Nokia Open, Prodiscus's flagship event played on the legendary "The Beast" course, was featured as a prominent stop on the tour, highlighting the company's influence in the competitive disc golf scene.
Prodiscus has also engaged in extensive collaborations with various organizations and disc golf communities worldwide. Through strategic partnerships with event organizers, retailers, and course designers, Prodiscus has contributed to the expansion of disc golf infrastructure and the accessibility of the sport. The company has provided sponsorships, equipment, and promotional support to grassroots projects, further reinforcing its commitment to growing the sport at all levels.
Prodiscus's commitment extends to grassroots initiatives, organizing educational programs, events, and clinics aimed at introducing new players to disc golf. By providing top-notch equipment and resources, Prodiscus has played a pivotal role in supporting numerous up-and-coming players, helping them reach their highest potential.
Through Kai Vesa's leadership and vision, Prodiscus has grown from a local enterprise into a globally recognized brand, deeply embedded in the fabric of the disc golf community. Its unwavering support for players, events, and partnerships continues to inspire and cultivate the sport's growth worldwide.
