Ralph Slazenger, the older of the two brothers, founded the Slazenger brand back in 1881. Initially a very small company engaged in the manufacture of golf clubs, cricket bats and later tennis rackets or field hockey equipment, it quickly grew. Mainly thanks to father Albert, Slazenger began to grow. One of its greatest strengths was the excellent ability to present itself around the world.
Over the years, the company has climbed to a very high level and today is one of the largest manufacturers of sports equipment and clothing.
