Dunlop Fort Tennis Balls

Dunlop Fort is one of the most iconic tennis ball lines in the world, known for its consistent flight and durability. The brand Dunlop was originally established in the United Kingdom in 1889, pioneering rubber and inflatable tire technology before expanding into sports equipment.

Starting from the 20th century, Dunlop became a household name in tennis. While the heritage of the brand is British, the corporate ownership has shifted significantly over the years. Following a period of fragmentation, the global sports segment of Dunlop was acquired by Sumitomo Rubber Industries, a large Japanese conglomerate, which now manages the brand's production and distribution globally. Manufacturing for high-performance tennis balls, including the Fort series, is centralized in the Philippines to maintain quality standards for professional and club play.
