Our company has been manufacturing plastic toy balls since its establishment in 1992. These products are manufactured using the latest rotational moulding technology, similarly to some of our European competitors. The toy balls are well-known products in the Hungarian and foreign markets.
The Kogelan sports balls, briefly described in the “Our company” section, have been developed over about 20 years. This is a product range with an extremely broad spectrum (new product developments currently in progress) offering specific benefits for sports. Market research and product launches are also under way at the moment.
Export demand (Germany, France, Czech Republic, Romania, etc.) gradually exceeding the turnover from the Hungarian market is an important reference for these products.
The most significant events of the market penetration in Hungary are presented below in chronological order:
1995
MTV (Hungarian Television): “Delta” (an educational program) – “Pattog a labda” (Bouncing ball) 1995
A 1995 appearance in the educational programme “DELTA” of Hungarian Television.
The educational TV programme which was on air from 1964 to 2009 and covered interesting scientific and technical things in Hungary and abroad, hosted by Júlia Kudlik, presented the production of KOGELAN sports balls at our company in an episode called “Bouncing ball” in 1995. (“DELTA” got the information about the product group created in 1993 from a central chemical research institute cooperating with our company.
1995-2005
Góliát McDonald’s FC
In terms of the use of KOGELAN sports balls in children’s football, our first main reference in Hungary was the activity of Goliath-McDonald’s FC, active in this field for about 10 years since 1990. In the first 5 years following the launch of these balls, 15,000 Kogelan 4 balls were distributed for kids’ training. Ball types used: Kogelan and traditional leather footballs.
