Anta Sports Apparel

ANTA Sports was established in 1991 in Jinjiang, Fujian Province, originally starting as a small shoe-making workshop. Over the decades, it has evolved into one of the world's largest sportswear companies by market value. The brand gained significant prestige by becoming the official apparel partner for the Chinese Olympic Committee and sponsoring numerous international athletes and events.

The brand is owned and operated by ANTA Sports Products Limited, which is headquartered in Xiamen, China. In addition to its flagship ANTA brand, the group has pursued a aggressive 'Multi-Brand' strategy, acquiring or managing the Chinese operations of several international brands such as FILA, Descente, and Kolon Sport.

Anta further cemented its global standing by leading a consortium to acquire Amer Sports in 2019, bringing iconic western brands like Salomon, Arc'teryx, and Wilson under its umbrella. Most manufacturing remains concentrated in China, specifically within the Fujian sports manufacturing cluster, though they utilize a global supply chain for international distribution and specialized lines.
