Sport-Saller

Sport-Saller was created in 1972 in Tauberrettersheim, Germany, by Richard Saller, who was a football coach at that time. Saller originally started as a footballing business, but soon turned its attention to creating a sporting goods company that develops, produces, and sells their own sportswear. Saller first opened a sportswear store with the idea of being able to equip local sports teams with the equipment they needed.[1]
