Part of HART Sport’s promise to customers is to have a high quality range of Sport, Fitness and Active Play gear. To keep this promise, we work closely with our suppliers on all our products. We travel the world visiting factories and trade shows to source new items and ensure that our quality and values are upheld
Why do we source direct from the manufacturer?
We source direct so we can offer value to our customers! There is no parent company, meaning everything we stock comes direct from the factory. We regularly visit our suppliers to work on new items, inspect production lines and check quality control procedures. Inspecting all stages of production is important so that we ensure our social and ethical values are upheld.

These visits are valuable to us because we get to see every aspect of production first hand! For balls, we see the rubber being mixed, the bladders, valves and panels being made, the artwork being applied. Finally, we get to see all these components stitched, sewn or bonded together to make the final product. One of the many tests we get to see firsthand is ball inflation. Did you know all our balls are inflated for 24 hours before they get sent to us? This is one of many controls to ensure every product arrives with the highest quality!

Why do we visit trade shows and factories?
We visit overseas trade shows across the world like ISPO and TaiSPO so that we can bring new, innovative products to you. Each year we enjoy seeing the new and exciting products for Sport, Fitness and Active play fun!
