Jako sportswear and equipment

Jako is a prominent German sportswear brand that has established a significant presence in the global athletic market. Founded in 1989 by Rudi Sprügel in Mulfingen-Hollenbach, the company was born out of a desire to provide reliable and high-quality equipment for local football clubs. The brand's name is derived from the Jagst and Kocher rivers, which flow through the region where the company originated.

While the brand's design and engineering happen at its headquarters in Germany, manufacturing is distributed across multiple countries to ensure professional-grade production. Jako is well-known for its commitment to team sports, providing kits for thousands of amateur and professional teams across football, handball, and basketball. Unlike many of its competitors, Jako remains a family-owned venture, focusing on fast delivery and high stock availability, which has helped it grow into a major European player in the sports apparel industry.
