France, with whom we hope to work on long term

FZ FORZA France / World – www.fzforza.fr www.fz-forza.com
Born from this proud tradition of world-class badminton in Denmark, FZ FORZA started making badminton
products for badminton players, by badminton players. Almost all top Danish players have been supported
by FZ FORZA and have used FZ FORZA products.
Despite badminton, Denmark amongst other things is also known for great design. Buildings, furniture,
toys and clothing are some of the items known for incorporating great Danish designs. With simple and
elegant solutions, the key idea in Danish design is that everything has to be functional, and therefore
Danish design is known for not overdesigning things. This is how we design our FZ FORZA products as
well.
FZ FORZA focuses on functionality, making sure that the product helps the player in the best way
possible whilst making sure the player both feels and looks good whilst playing.
