For more than a decade, pole vaulting has been a game changer

It has been more than ten years now. In 2009, we were allowed to deliver a lot of different athletics materials, destined for the NK athletics that took place in the Olympic Stadium. As you can see on the photo, the pole vault was an important part of this. In the years that followed, we played a role in many more great projects. Curious about what we can do for pole vaulting?
