Kempa includes what the name already implies: exclusively handball. And this with every consequence. For us, this means that every product that bears the Kempa name must be exclusively and explicitly adapted to the needs of handball. As a result, we devote ourselves exclusively to the questions that handball has to offer. Handball is indisputably one of the leading team sports worldwide - and especially in Germany. The German Handball Federation is one of the largest national sports associations and, with around 830,000 members, over 4,500 clubs and 30,000 teams, is the world's largest handball association. Handball is not only popular in Germany, but also a topic in many other countries around the world. And yet, up until the introduction of the Kempa brand, there was still no specialist who dealt exclusively with handball. This is how the idea came about to create a serious alternative to the mega brands for handball. And without compromise. The brand is named after the Göppingen handball legend Bernhard Kempa. In the 1950s, the "Fritz Walter of handball" became world champion. He became Sportsman of the Century and was awarded the Silver Laurel Leaf. His club Frisch Auf Göppingen was 11 times German champion with him. He is immortalized by his spectacular combination of throws in a circle, the so-called Kempa trick.
