Sproxil

Sproxil helps consumers in low-resource settings combat drug counterfeiting with a simple text message.

Sproxils Mobile Product Authentication™ (MPA™) technology ensures that consumers buy only genuine medicine by allowing patients to varify that their medicine is from reputable manufacturers.

At point of purchase, consumers will find a security label on the package with a panel that they can scratch off. Scratching the panel will reveal a unique, one time use PIN that they can text for free to a provided phone number. Immediately, they will receive a response that either confirms that the product is genuine or warns that it is suspicious.

Founded in 2008, Sproxil's technology supports brand protection and marketing initiatives in multiple industries. The company now protects products in over ten industries, including beauty & personal care, FMCG, electrical goods, automotive, oil & gas, and agribusiness.

Sproxil has operations in five countries across three continents and is continuing to expand their reach to more consumers around the world.
