Our Story

Built by players, refined for brands.

Gripavo began with a simple observation: off-the-shelf grips rarely match the standards of serious athletes or the identities of the brands they represent.

We started in a small workshop hand-wrapping overgrips for local clubs, then expanded into a full custom manufacturing operation serving sports brands across Europe and North America. Every product we ship today still goes through the same meticulous process — material selection, texture engineering, color matching, and quality control on every batch.

Today, we support B2B clients from boutique racket shops to global sporting goods distributors with consistent quality, low MOQs, and a development cycle built around speed and reliability.

Our Values

Customization, Performance, and Sustainability — our promise in every grip.

Three principles shape how we develop products and partner with every client — from the first sample to every shipment out the door.

Custom

Every program is built around your brand — texture, color, packaging, and price point — so your grips stand out on the shelf, not in a catalog.

Performance

Grips are tested for tack retention, sweat resistance, and durability across climate conditions — so they perform from the first set to the final match.

Sustainability

We continuously reduce waste in our production line and offer eco-conscious material options including recycled PU and biodegradable wraps.

Global Supply

From our manufacturing base to warehouses in Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific — we deliver consistent quality with the lead times your retail calendar demands.
