GENERAL QUESTIONS

Who is SUMMIT Sport?

SUMMIT is a brand that has been producing sports equipment since 1991. Mostly producing hardgoods sports, we are diverse in the range of equipment that we supply. We design and produce the equipment ourselves. Our business and warehouse offices are in Sydney and Brisbane. We distributor our products through countries around the world – Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, UK, Europe, Asia, USA and Canada. Our sports products are made for all types of users from professional athletes, clubs, schools, fans and people just wanting to have fun. Our goal is to provide sports equipment to all people – this means quality and value. We believe sport is not for the elite only. Most sports stars start from humble beginnings, and SUMMIT believes it is crucial that we have a product that helps everyone raise their game.
