Babolat, the famous French company best known for its strings and tennis rackets, is exploring India for apparel sourcing. According to industry sources it started its own office in Bangalore almost 1½ years ago and its main products include sportswear like tee-shirts, polos, sweats, shorts and long sleeve knits. A source claimed that as of now some orders are in the process with Bangalore/South India-based companies while one Noida-based sportswear manufacturer is also in touch with the company. As of now the Bangalore office has a small team, but once the sourcing increases the team can be expanded and the office may be shifted to North India.
This team is also managing complete textile quality for India and Sri Lanka (also part Vietnam). The company claims to be providing “a technical line of apparel specifically developed for racket sports, with a 100 per cent athletic design and ultra-innovative materials to boost players’ performance and comfort.”
