After the Olympic fameness of Cybershape – racquet expert Stiga goes west

Stiga CEO close up

One sports product stood out at the Paris Olympics despite its modest size. The octagonal racquet Cybershape put the 80-year-old Swedish family business STIGA Sports back on the world map.

In addition, an upcoming IPO is looming for the venerable family business.
