No stopping new Chinese compression gear brand
PlayTop, a new protective compression gear brand launched in 2020, has received a round of angel investment from Focus Sports (a subsidiary of Shanghai-headquartered Focus Media).
In an interview with local media, a Focus Sports representative noted the company’s “optimistic” outlook regarding the continued growth of the protective sports equipment market in China, with the organisation’s chairman also highlighting the Tokyo Olympics and UEFA European Football Championship (both summer 2021) as potential key catalysts.
PlayTop’s patented gradual compression technology is intended for protection and rehabilitation. Since launching its TECHNESS series earlier this year, PlayTop has captured the attention of professional athletes, local reports claim.
The brand is operated by Shanghai Yishang Technology, which was established in April of this year.
