Tecnifibre is a French manufacturer of sporting equipment, specializing in tennis and squash. It was founded in 1979 by the current CEO Thierry Maissant. Throughout its development, Tecnifibre has built itself a worldwide reputation in the tennis and squash market, releasing rackets, bags, strings, apparel and other accessories.

History

Tecnifibre first became known for its expertise in strings, especially in multifilament, thanks to a unique technology: the "PU400 Inside". In 2004, Tecnifibre decided to launch its own range of rackets for competitors. Tecnifibre is also very active in squash.
