About Srixon

Srixon is a Japanese manufacturer of golf equipment that has established itself as one of the leading brands in the golf industry. The brand is owned by Sumitomo Rubber Industries, which is one of the world's largest producers of rubber and tires, with a long history in both the automotive and sports industries.

Rise and early years

Srixon's roots can be traced back to the 1930s, when Sumitomo Rubber began manufacturing rubber and tire technology. In the 1980s, the company began to develop its expertise in sports equipment, particularly golf balls. Srixon originally started as a manufacturer of high performance golf balls for other major brands, but in 1996 the company decided to launch its own golf brand and began developing their own products, including golf balls and equipment.

The Srixon name quickly became associated with precision and quality, which helped them attract golfers of all levels, from amateurs to professionals.

History and growth

In the following decades, Srixon grew to become a globally recognized company in the golf world. Srixon was particularly known for their golf balls that were often used by top level tour players. In 2007, Srixon acquired the American golf brand Cleveland Golf, which strengthened their position in the American market. This acquisition allowed Srixon to expand their product portfolio to include not only golf balls, but also golf clubs and irons.

Over the years, Srixon has been an active player in innovation and research. They have developed some of the most advanced technologies in golf balls, such as their Z-STAR range, designed to deliver long distance balls without compromising control and spin. This has made Srixon a popular choice among many of the world's top professional players, including Hideki Matsuyama, who won the 2021 Masters Tournament as the first Japanese player to win a major.

Srixon today

Today, Srixon produces a wide range of golf equipment, from golf balls and golf clubs to golf bags and gloves. Srixon is particularly known for combining innovation with precision, and many of their products are tailored for professionals and amateurs alike. Their ZX range of golf irons and clubs, introduced in recent years, have received high praise for their performance and technology.

In addition to their presence among professional golfers, Srixon also has a large presence among amateurs, and their products are available in golf shops worldwide. They continue to be known for their quality and many of their products are recognized as some of the best in the golf market.

Today, Srixon remains part of Sumitomo Rubber Industries and the company remains one of the leading manufacturers of golf equipment in the world. With their constant focus on innovation and performance, it looks like Srixon will continue to be a key player in golf for many years to come.
