The origins of the Select brand date back to 1947, when its founder Eigil Nielsen decided to establish a company that specialized in the production of various types of balls for team sports. This decision yielded tangible results, and the brand itself expanded to a very large size over the years. In 1951, the Select team developed an innovative seamless ball that revolutionized the approach to their design for good. Since then, the strength of the brand has grown steadily, and its market position has strengthened all the time.
As early as 1957, the company became the official ball supplier for the Danish Handball Federation, and in the 1980s, products from Select were used by the Italian Football League. These events provided the brand with excellent promotion and allowed it to rank among the leading sports manufacturers. Since then, the brand has been growing and constantly expanding its product range with functional, durable and modern products.
In 2012, the company developed the world's first Select IBall smart ball, which became a milestone for the brand's development. Exactly in the same year, Select also tied up an agreement with the world soccer organization FIFA. Today, the brand is the world's largest manufacturer of handballs, and distributes all its items to more than fifty countries around the world. The quality balls signed by Select can be used by both beginners and professional players of team games.
