Welcome to the world of sports

Sports equipment made in Germany

Haspo Sportgeräte was founded by Günter Lawes and his partner on 1 January 1976. The partners and their three employees worked together on a production space of 600 m², producing 20 different items of sports equipment.

The company decided to erect its own production plant when space gradually became increasingly scarce. In the spring of 1979, a 5000 m² plot of land was acquired in Johannisweg in the village of Rhüden. The production plant covering 2500 m² was completed in June 1980.

Steady expansion of the production programme saw the number of employees rising.

As of the beginning of 1991 Günter Lawes headed the company with a new partner. As the company continued to grow steadily, the production area was extended by another 1000 m². At the end of 2000 this prompted Haspo Sportgeräte to acquire a neighbouring production plant, thus meeting the need for more space.

Steffan Lawes, the founder’s son, joined the company on 1 January 1997. He became a Managing Partner along with Günter Lawes and his partner on 1 January 1999.

Since 1 January 2009 Steffan Lawes has been the company’s sole Managing Partner. At present 250 different products are manu-factured with 30 employees on a production area of more than 6000 m² and premises covering more than 20000 m².
