Jukka Ropponen Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 While GoaliePro acts in Finland as Brian's and McKenney distributor, we also have our own product line of goalie gear and sticks. During the past we have been disappointed in the quality coming from China, Korea etc areas and started to look for an alternative source within Europe to add to our line of Canadian made gear. We ended up cooperating with Czech company that makes quality gear and let's us doe the design work + they also turn custom jobs around for us in 3 weeks. We are now entering into 2nd year of cooperation and most of the design are now were wanted them to be. We have developed a lot of new things like our own strapping system et. We have several resellers in Europe and also first ones in Canada (like Finngoalie at Halifax) selling our gear. Line also includes European made sticks (foamcore, wood and abs). In 2 weeks we will have sessions with manufacturer to make some new designs, new catch glove model etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mik Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Just want to ask, is it the company STA in Czech Republic and can "not-pro" goalie order your custom gear (= your models and brand) here too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyman666 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Pretty good looking stuff. I am surprised you did not go with my Euro League Billboard graphic @Jukka Ropponen I see! LOL Nearly the same except yours has knee rolls! Guess I copied you!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jukka Ropponen Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 We have actually more than 1 supplier. On top of that we have our own designs and improvements, which help us to make our gear our own, even we don't own the manufacturing facility. Yes, we make our gear available to normal users as well. Preferably via resellers, but we have also shipped directly to end-customers to areas where we don't have dealers yet. Here's a few more pics showing some custom color options for our foamcore sticks (min order 3 pcs), coming accessories and packaging (goalie suspenders etc...) and int sized custom set made for a customer at Canada.

Yes, it is still an option but +90% of the customers prefer the new strapping. Some customer also want a combo system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
