History and Philosophy: TOGU Company

History
TOGU was founded in 1956 as a family business in Prien am Chiemsee, Germany. The original business idea was to produce a seamless ball made entirely from one piece – without stitches or glue.
Today, TOGU offers a diverse range of products: from play and sports equipment for kindergartens and schools to training and therapy tools for home, fitness centers, rehabilitation, and elite sports.
The production site in Prien has been continuously maintained and expanded. TOGU proudly supplies its “Made in Germany” products to over 50 countries worldwide.
We are committed to creating durable, sustainable, and high-quality products. This helps conserve resources and energy. Many of our products can be registered for a 30-year warranty.
