This idea expanded through international recognition at their first exhibition in Chicago USA, this recognition came as a result of their innovative designs and forward thinking in an industry that was ready for a shake-up. These events gave the owner Trevor added confidence to fill the gap in the Australian market.  Being an action taker Trevor followed his dreams and decided to lead the way with a vision to enrich the lives of sports lovers and athletes everywhere.
