OUR STORY
Our humble beginnings start in 1992. Greg Harten returned home to Australia after working as a tennis coach in Germany for 13 years and started the company, HART Sport & Leisure. The business launched selling all kinds of sporting products and brands via mail-order catalogues to schools across Queensland, Australia. It wasn’t long after that we expanded our service, offering the range to the rest of Australia.
After some time, it became apparent that stocking other brands was no longer fitting into our business model. We discovered there were consistent supply problems, quality issues and forever changing prices. This prompted Greg to take control of the supply chain and launch his own brand under the name of HART Sport. We established a manufacturing facility where we now produce over 700 quality foam and vinyl products locally and are proud to have earned the Australian Made badge. Since adapting to this business model, our brand has grown exponentially.
Today, we have over 100,000 customers made up of schools, sporting clubs, businesses, fitness centres, government organisations & thousands of everyday people who love to use HART at home, on the weekend or with friends & family. We also export our products internationally to over 40 countries!
Our driving purpose as a brand is to help people stay active. Being active and playing sport has gone hand in hand with growing up in Australia. Whether you play sport at an elite level or just at the local park, pool or schoolyard, sport defines our national character. Sport connects us, unites us (and occasionally divides us). We take pride in our sport, our teams and achievements in it. HART Sport believes in facilitating and supporting all Australians in all their sporting and fitness endeavours. Whether you compete at a professional level, stay active simply to stay fit, are learning a sport for the first time, or about to start your health & fitness journey - we have all the equipment you need in one place for you to PLAY ON!
Our range has been developed by our professional team who live and breathe all things sport & fitness. Our products are made with quality & durability in mind. When you buy from HART Sport, you are buying directly from people who understand the value and support our products provide. Our range of innovative products are designed for you to get the most out of its intended purpose. We make it easy for our customers to get product information, order and receive products through our website and catalogue.
