Decathlon Philippines Inc.
Decathlon is one of the largest sporting goods retailers in the world. It was established by Michel Leclercq in 1976 and aims to make sports affordable for everyone. To meet this objective, it has begun manufacturing its own “passion brand” products, including badminton rackets and high-tech scuba diving equipment.
Despite its international success, independent sporting goods retailers in France have found it hard to compete with Decathlon. In 2008, Decathlon’s sales exceeded those of all competitors in France.
K-1 Extreme Sportshop
Founded by Jaime Alexis Sin, the K-1 Extreme Sportshop is the first one-stop shop for martial arts enthusiasts in the Philippines. They are considered the pioneers of martial arts gear in Philippines sports betting. As the company’s founder, Sin shared his difficult journey towards establishing the brand.
Before starting K-1, he worked as a stockbroker for eight years. After his firm collapsed during the Asian Financial Crisis, he decided to devote himself to martial arts.
