Midletts Sport Grips: Round wooden handle design, handmade

Founded in 2020 by four friends Semir, Daniel, Jan, and Johannes, Aries Athletics handcrafts sustainable sports equipment. What began as a hobby evolved into a business.

The name is derived from their zodiac sign: all four were born Aries. Optimism, drive, and the search for new challenges led them to found Aries Athletics.

The company cooperates with Hood Training gGmbH and provides sports equipment for youth work.

From the plank to the finished product, all production steps take place in the company's own workshop in Moringen. All four managing directors of Aries Athletics are personally present in the workshop and handcraft each product.

In addition to the highest quality craftsmanship, resource conservation is a top priority. In production, the four rely on a consistent circular economy: offcuts, leftovers, and waste are returned to the production cycle. Sawdust is transformed into wood briquettes, and wood offcuts are often used to create new, creative projects in the company's own workshop, such as shelves or practical storage units.

The company is particularly proud of its close collaboration with the local sawmill. The wooden planks used largely come from the forest directly in front of their workshop, which minimizes transport distances.

Cork is sourced from a family business in Portugal.

The products are packaged plastic-free and shipped via DPD or DHL. Aries Athletics offers a repair service: If your equipment is damaged, they welcome your contact and will work with you to find a solution.

Returned items will be reconditioned and returned to the retailer free of defects.
