What JIPAST does

JIPAST a.s. is a Czech manufacturer of sports equipment founded in 1992 and incorporated as a joint stock company (akciová společnost) in 2000, headquartered in Hradec Králové. The company specializes in impact-absorbing landing surfaces, gymnastics equipment, athletics gear, and end-to-end gymnasium installations, with proprietary product lines including RinoSet® children's gymnastics systems, RinoClimb® climbing impact surfaces, AirFloor and AiRPit inflatable landing systems, and the AiRRoller automated surface-covering system. JIPAST was the first Czech company to obtain IAAF (World Athletics) certification for athletics products and holds ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification.

The company operates a multi-channel commercial model combining direct-to-consumer e-commerce (jipast.cz and jipast.sk) with B2B institutional sales to schools, sports clubs, Sokol organizations, and fitness/rehabilitation facilities. Revenue is generated through one-time equipment sales, equipment rentals (with rental fees creditable toward subsequent purchase), and professional services for custom gymnasium design, manufacturing, and installation. Pricing is publicly listed in Czech Koruna, with special terms for schools and clubs and a loyalty program for institutional buyers. JIPAST distributes both its own products and those of European partners (Polanik, Eurotramp, SPIETH, Gymnova) and maintains official partnership status with the Czech and Slovak Athletics and Gymnastics Federations and the Czech Sokol Organization, exporting across Europe from a 1–10 employee base.

Direct peers

• SPIETH Gymnastics: German manufacturer of professional gymnastics apparatus (vaults, bars, beams, floor exercise). Distributed through JIPAST for the Czech market. Directly comparable as a European gymnastics equipment specialist targeting clubs and federation-affiliated competitions.
• Polanik: Polish manufacturer of athletics equipment (discs, hammers, starting blocks, hurdles) and JIPAST's primary athletics product partner. Directly comparable as a European specialty athletics equipment manufacturer serving schools, clubs, and competition venues with IAAF-grade products.
• Eurotramp Trampoline: German manufacturer of competition and school trampolines distributed through JIPAST. Directly comparable in gymnastics/trampoline equipment with overlapping customer segments (schools, clubs, federations) and similar European footprint.
• Gymnova: French manufacturer of professional gymnastics equipment. Distributed through JIPAST in CZ/SK. Closely comparable in product category (gymnastics apparatus, competition-grade gear) and target customers (clubs, schools, federations) across Europe.
• Sport-Thieme: German school and club sports equipment distributor/manufacturer with a broad catalog covering athletics, gymnastics, fitness, and team sports. Comparable as a multi-category European school sports supplier with both proprietary and distributed brands.
• Erhard Sport: German manufacturer of school and athletics sports equipment (balls, hurdles, throwing implements, mats). Comparable as a European specialist in school/club athletics equipment with overlapping target markets in German-speaking countries.
• Rinogym: Manufacturer of inflatable gymnastics and psychomotor development equipment whose products are distributed through JIPAST. Directly comparable in inflatable gymnastics equipment for children's sports and PE programs.

Emerging players

• AirTrack Factory: Netherlands-based inflatable gymnastics equipment manufacturer. Comparable as a supplier of inflatable impact surfaces and gymnastics products — directly overlapping with JIPAST's AirFloor, AiRPit, and Rinogym Air lines, but with a more digitally-native, direct-to-consumer go-to-market model.

Broad incumbents

• Sponeta Sportgeräte: German manufacturer of sports tables, gymnastics apparatus, and broader school sports equipment. Comparable as a broader-line European school sports equipment manufacturer with overlapping customer segments but a wider product portfolio than JIPAST's gymnastics-athletics focus.

Regional players

• Niels Larsen A/S: Danish manufacturer of gymnastics, athletics, and school sports equipment. Comparable in product category and target customers (schools, clubs) but primarily serves Nordic markets rather than the CEE region where JIPAST operates.
