HOW IT STARTED
In 1934, Karl Reusch manufactured his first pair of gloves in the attic of his home. After developing and improving glove engineering for decades, in 1972 the needs of professional athletes were finally met. After his son Gebhard joins the company, Reusch entered the industry with a collection of specially designed winter gloves and started expanding its market activities. One year later, in close cooperation with the German goalkeeper legend Sepp Maier, Gebhard Reusch developed the first goalkeeper glove with a latex palm in history. A milestone for the world of soccer and Sepp Maier as well, who won the World Cup just the year after.
