Zhensheng Sports

See You at ISPO Amsterdam, Nov 3-5!

For the first time in 25 years, ISPO is moving from Munich to Amsterdam RAI — a shift driven by the need to align with global buying cycles. We're ready to meet European buyers where they are.

Zhensheng will showcase our professional-grade pickleball paddles and full product lineup at ISPO 2026.

📅 Date: Nov 3-5, 2026
📍 Venue: RAI Amsterdam
📮 Booth: DL48 (corner booth)

Two things worth noting about this year's ISPO: the Leaders' Summit brings together senior industry decision-makers, and the Hosted Buyer Programme connects exhibitors with qualified retailers and buyers. This means better leads, not just more foot traffic.

Book a slot in advance — skip the waiting line.

DM us to schedule a time. Let us know your focus category (pickleball paddles/yoga mats/balls/fitness accessories) and we'll prep samples and specs accordingly.

From Concept to Custom: How We Helped a European Yoga Brand Launch a Cork Yoga Mat Line

A European wellness brand came to us wanting to move away from standard TPE mats toward something that better matched their sustainability positioning. Here's what the project looked like:

✅ Base material: Cork & TPE, FSC certified
✅ Custom thickness: 4mm, matched to their studio-line spec
✅ Logo: laser engraving for a premium, tactile finish — no ink, no fading
✅ From first sample to production-ready spec in just a few rounds of iteration

The result was a mat that fit their brand's eco-positioning without compromising on grip or durability.

This is the kind of project we take on regularly — real material choices, built around what a brand actually needs.

📩 DM us if you're exploring a cork or eco-material line.

✅ Full custom color, panel layout, and logo placement
✅ Screen print, heat transfer, or embossed logo — chosen based on durability needs

ISPO is moving to Amsterdam this November — and the industry’s showing up early.

280+ exhibitors already locked in. 50% of the floorplan secured 10 months out. First-ever onsite rebooking drove record commitments.

What’s interesting: €3M investment behind it. €1M for advocacy and grassroots sport. €1M to bring global buyers into the room. €1M for a content programme kicking off with a dedicated Leaders’ Summit. C-suite, policymakers, athletes — all in one room.

For brands and buyers, the signal is clear: trade shows aren’t fading. They’re reconfiguring. Shorter cycles. Curated connections. Higher stakes.

We’ll be watching closely. If you’re planning to attend, let’s connect there.
