2XU performance compression wear

2XU, an acronym for "Two Times You," was established in Melbourne, Australia, in 2005. The brand was founded by Clyde Davenport, Jamie Hunt, and Aidan Clarke with a singular focus on high-performance compression garments designed to enhance athletic preparation, performance, and recovery. It quickly gained global recognition among professional athletes, including Olympic medalists and NBA players, for its proprietary fabric technologies and graduated compression profiles.

While the brand maintains its creative and design headquarters in Melbourne, its manufacturing is decentralized. Like many global athletic brands, 2XU utilizes a network of certified manufacturing partners primarily located across Asia to scale production while maintaining strict quality control standards.

In terms of ownership, the brand has undergone significant transitions. In 2013, LVMH-backed L Catterton Asia acquired a 40% stake, eventually moving to full ownership in 2018. However, in July 2024, the brand was acquired by TriVantage Holdings Pte Ltd, a Singapore-registered investment vehicle. This group is composed of experienced consumer brand executives and investors predominantly based in the Philippines, marking a new chapter for the Australian-born brand under Southeast Asian ownership.
