Our Story
Discover Sphere Sport’s journey as an apparel manufacturer & values driving our commitment to quality, customization, ethics & sustainability in sports apparel.
The Power of Partnership
Sphere Sport was founded with the belief that combining the efficiency of Chinese manufacturing with the unparalleled customer service of Australia would better serve the unique needs of teamwear businesses.
By leveraging the expertise of both regions and striving for excellence in all aspects of the teamwear manufacturing process, Sphere Sport has become a leading provider of high-quality, customized sports apparel. Our commitment to innovation, dedication to our clients’ success, and adherence to ethical business practices continue to drive us forward as a trusted partner in the industry.
Revolutionizing Teamwear Manufacturing
Founders Sam Clay and Eric Fan realized that most teamwear factories were using the same materials and production processes as retail apparel, leading to quality issues and mistakes in orders. They recognized that teamwear manufacturing required a unique approach, tailored to the needs of clients who needed cutting edge customized professional apparel for their customers.
Customized B2B Solutions
By developing bespoke production methods and investing in the latest technology, Sphere Sport has been able to provide high-quality, durable sportswear that meets the exact standards of clients supplying a range of athletes including professional teams. This approach has also allowed us as your elite apparel manufacturer to offer customized solutions that meet the specific needs of each client, setting us apart in the industry.
Empowering Client Partnerships
We take a partnership approach with our clients, empowering them to develop their own unique product catalogs and offering them the resources and support to bring their visions to life.
By working closely with our clients, we’re able to better understand their needs and provide customized solutions that go beyond simple manufacturing. This approach has resulted in lasting relationships and a reputation for excellence in the sports apparel industry.
