Wibit Sports

What Wibit Sports does

Wibit Sports GmbH, headquartered in Bocholt, Germany, manufactures modular interlocking inflatable water parks and related floating products and distributes them worldwide. Founded in 1997, the company has shipped installations to over 100 countries and operates wholly-owned branch offices in China (since 2017) and Bahrain (since 2019). Its product portfolio centers on a proprietary modular system built from UV-resistant PVC with hot air welding, including the core Wibit SportsParks, Wibit Kids, Wibit Fitness, Wibit PEAKZ, Wibit TAG, the WatchLine safety platform line, the Looft premium floating-furniture sub-brand, and Wibit PoolTrack pool-based systems.

The company's revenue model combines one-time hardware sales of manufactured-to-order modular parks with bundled professional services (installation, planning, permit documentation) and ongoing lifetime support including spare parts and maintenance. Pricing is quote-based, determined per project by module selection, park size, customization, and location. Wibit sells through a hybrid GTM combining direct enterprise field sales with a discovery-call consultative motion, an international distributor network, and regional branch offices, targeting six vertical segments: beaches, hotels and resorts, commercial pools, campgrounds, summer camps, and lake operators.

Since 2018, Wibit has been backed by private equity firm Argos Wityu. Notable commercial milestones include the 2019 Guinness World Record for the Indonesia-TAG installation in Bali and the 2021 Saudi Arabia-TAG installation at King Abdullah Economic City (then the world's largest, with 700-person capacity). The company holds an EcoVadis Bronze Medal (top 14% of assessed companies in its industry) and partnerships with ClimatePartner, the UN Global Compact, and the Royal Life Saving Society UK. In 2024/2025, co-founders Romann Rademacher and Robert Cirjak stepped back from daily operations, with Ralf Schwung assuming the Managing Director role and Tarak Charfi joining as Managing Director Sales.
