The company can trace its root's back to 1954 (70 years!), since then the company has changed ownership, location and direction focusing on manufacture more than once over our history. One thing that has always remained constant is our drive and passion for the sport, and the industry and our desire to offer our customers the best advise service and range possible, be that in our shop or our on-line store.
