The founder of TIBHAR is Tibor Harangozo, a world-recognized table tennis coach and former world-class table tennis player. He used his first 3 characters of his name: “Tib” and “Har” to make the company’s name.

The headquarter is in the capital of Saarland in Saarbrucken, Germany, and the Berg family now runs it.

Initially, TIBHAR only produced blades and rubbers, especially design based on professional players’ specific requests.  Today “TIBHAR” has become synonymous with the world of high-quality table tennis products that range from amateur to world-class competition.

After the company invaded into China market in 2002, TIBHAR managed to provide reliable service for most Chinese table tennis enthusiasts and professional players with the virtue of their technical superiority. In November 2006, the company officially opened its Chinese company to provide more quality and quick service to its Chinese customers.
