ABEO, Olympic Games supplier for the 15th time

ABEO, a world leader in sports and leisure equipment, today announces that the Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG) has informed its affiliated member federations that Spieth Gymnastics (Germany, subsidiary of ABEO), together with its Japanese partner Senoh, has been selected to supply the gymnastic apparatus to the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.

Following the selection of Schelde Sports to supply basketball equipment, Spieth Gymnastics, a leading global manufacturer of gymnastics equipment, has been appointed as equipment supplier for the artistic and rhythmic gymnastics events at the next summer Olympic Games. As part of its participation, Spieth Gymnastics has concluded a partnership with Eurotramp (for the supply of trampolines) and Senoh (well-known local manufacturer of gymnastics equipment). Together with these experienced partners, Spieth Gymnastics will supply most favourable and consistent conditions for all participating athletes.

ABEO has a long history of involvement in international sports competitions via all its brands, and Tokyo 2020 will mark its 15th involvement in the Olympic Games since Melbourne 1956.
