The Framework

CHOPAR is the Nordics' leading manufacturer of gymnastics wear and team apparel.
The company was established in 1989 and has since grown into a prominent actor in the sportswear business. The daily operations are run in the city of Ikast from where the designing, sales, marketing, warehouse and our Webshop is managed. All our special designs are sewn in Denmark, but we produce items in other European countries, too.

Apart from the Danish department, we also have an office in Helsinki, Finland from where all the Finnish, Swedish and other international cases are handled.

We are no ordinary salespeople

A significant aspect of our organization is our employees who have a background in gymnastics. This ensures that we have a deep understanding of the unique needs of gymnasts, guaranteeing that you, as a customer, will receive discipline specific expertise and reliable guidance.

Our devotion to the art of movement is all-encompassing, evident in every aspect of our operations, from material acquisition to construction and customer support. Feel free to reach out to us, as we enthusiastically welcome discussions on any and all aspects of gymnastics!

Our Vision

Our vision is not only centered around creating top-quality gymnastics clothing but also focuses on creating products that serve as a source of inspiration for both the industry and the sport itself.

We strive for innovation in our products and achieve it by working closely with the gymnasts themselves, valuing their input and collaboration. This contributes to a strong partnership with our customers, ensuring that the apparel we provide goes beyond simply fitting well - it's designed to make you feel like a superstar.

Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much

At CHOPAR, it is not just about manufacturing and selling gymnastics apparel. We want more than that. We want to inspire an active everyday life and pass on our passion for gymnastics to future generations. To achieve this, we believe in the power of partnerships.

We are the proud partner of both the Danish and Finnish Gymnastics Federations. With the Danes, we work with all the gymnastics disciplines, whereas in Finland our focus lies in TeamGym and aerobic gymnastics.  We also manufacture outfits to several mass gymnastics events in collaboration with the federations. Some of these include the Landsstævne and Suomi Gymnaestrada. Our partnerships further include TeamGym national teams in several European countries.

In 2019, we entered a collaboration with FACEOFF who help to develop gymnastics and shape its future with their ever-so-innovative concept of FACEOFF events. These events are about innovative gymnastics competitions where the world’s best gymnasts come together to battle in a truly unique setup, challenging the status-quo of the sport.

The demanding set up requires apparel that can tolerate movement to its ultimatum. Thus, the partnership offers us as the event’s official clothing manufacturer a unique opportunity to test the limits of our gymnastics apparel and gives us direct feedback on how our clothing performs in the wildest of settings.

We develop our clothing based on athletes' wishes and needs. If it works for gymnastics, it works for everything.
