SANWEI Sport started in 1993 with a simple idea: to make table tennis more enjoyable. Our founder, Mr. Su Zhimin, was not only an engineer but also a passionate player. At that time, he felt that the rackets available on the market didn\u2019t match the needs of real players. So, instead of waiting for change, he decided to build one himself. That\u2019s how the Pistol Racket was born\u2014a unique design created to make playing easier and more natural. It was the first step in what has now become a journey of more than 30 years. Since then, we\u2019ve stayed true to the same belief: equipment should serve the player. Every blade and rubber we make is designed with this in mind\u2014comfortable to use, trustworthy in performance, and fairly priced. One example is our Target rubber series, which has become popular with players around the world. Its balance of spin, speed, and control makes it a reliable choice for training, competition, and everything in between. At SANWEI, we are players ourselves. We understand the excitement of hitting the perfect shot, the frustration of missed points, and the joy of improving step by step. That\u2019s why our mission has never changed: to create table tennis equipment that helps players at every level enjoy the game even more.\",\"email\":\"customerservice@sanweisport.com\",\"legalName\":\"Beijing Sanwei Sporting Goods Co., Ltd\",\"foundingDate\":\"1993-07-01\",\"numberOfEmployees\":{\"@type\":\"QuantitativeValue\",\"minValue\":\"51\",\"maxValue\":\"200\"},\"hasMerchantReturnPolicy\":{\"@type\":\"MerchantReturnPolicy\",\"merchantReturnLink\":\"https:\/\/sanweisport.com\/en\/refund_returns\/\"}},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/sanweisport.com\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/c04a7bc786e497c4e178a3f5c266d3a3\",\"name\":\"Gareth Chen\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/sanweisport.com\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/sanweisport.com\/wp-content\/litespeed\/avatar\/56a3da634ebdab827e0ea742db1dbd52.jpg?ver=1790651683\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/sanweisport.com\/wp-content\/litespeed\/avatar\/56a3da634ebdab827e0ea742db1dbd52.jpg?ver=1790651683\",\"caption\":\"Gareth Chen\"},\"description\":\"Head of SANWEI's Retail Division Has played table tennis for over 10 years, averaging more than 8 hours per week.

SANWEI Sport started in 1993 with a simple idea: to make table tennis more enjoyable. Our founder, Mr. Su Zhimin, was not only an engineer but also a passionate player. At that time, he felt that the rackets available on the market didn\u2019t match the needs of real players. So, instead of waiting for change, he decided to build one himself. That\u2019s how the Pistol Racket was born\u2014a unique design created to make playing easier and more natural. It was the first step in what has now become a journey of more than 30 years. Since then, we\u2019ve stayed true to the same belief: equipment should serve the player. Every blade and rubber we make is designed with this in mind\u2014comfortable to use, trustworthy in performance, and fairly priced. One example is our Target rubber series, which has become popular with players around the world. Its balance of spin, speed, and control makes it a reliable choice for training, competition, and everything in between. At SANWEI, we are players ourselves. We understand the excitement of hitting the perfect shot, the frustration of missed points, and the joy of improving step by step. That\u2019s why our mission has never changed: to create table tennis equipment that helps players at every level enjoy the game even more.","email":"customerservice@sanweisport.com","legalName":"Beijing Sanwei Sporting Goods Co., Ltd","foundingDate":"1993-07-01","numberOfEmployees":{"@type":"QuantitativeValue","minValue":"51","maxValue":"200"},"hasMerchantReturnPolicy":{"@type":"MerchantReturnPolicy","merchantReturnLink":"https:\/\/sanweisport.com\/en\/refund_returns\/"}},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/sanweisport.com\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/c04a7bc786e497c4e178a3f5c266d3a3","name":"Gareth Chen","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/sanweisport.com\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/sanweisport.com\/wp-content\/litespeed\/avatar\/56a3da634ebdab827e0ea742db1dbd52.jpg?ver=1790651683","contentUrl":"https:\/\/sanweisport.com\/wp-content\/litespeed\/avatar\/56a3da634ebdab827e0ea742db1dbd52.jpg?ver=1790651683","caption":"Gareth Chen"},"description":"Head of SANWEI's Retail Division Has played table tennis for over 10 years, averaging more than 8 hours per week.
