About the company:
The brand name “Under Armour” embodies the idea of protecting and supporting the body during active pursuits. The company’s history began when Kevin Plank, a former University of Maryland football player, noticed that his thermal underwear always stayed dry even after intense workouts. The idea to create clothing that not only kept athletes dry but also supported their bodies was born in his mind. In 1996, Plank released the first collection of comfortable and functional clothing under the Under Armour brand. From the very beginning, the brand gained popularity among athletes due to its innovative technologies and stylish design. Shortly after, Under Armour became one of the fastest-growing brands in the sports apparel industry. The company began to expand and enter new markets, such as footwear and accessories. Today, Under Armour offers a wide range of products for sports and an active lifestyle, including clothing, footwear, and accessories for training, running, basketball, football, and other sports. The success of Under Armour is also attributed to the company’s active marketing strategy. The brand has become a sponsor of numerous professional sports teams and well-known athletes, such as basketball player Stephen Curry and boxer Anthony Joshua. In 2005, Under Armour successfully held its IPO and became a public company. Since then, its shares have been traded on the stock exchange and generated income for investors. Under Armour continues to evolve, offering new technologies and designs. The company actively works on improving its products to provide athletes and enthusiasts of an active lifestyle with the best experience.
