We've been selling our products directly to you since day one. With no dealer margin, we can offer you the best product at the best price. That means, for example: made from certified materials at carefully selected production sites in Europe. We ship worldwide - without detours to you. If you have any questions or problems, we are your direct contacts and can respond individually to your wishes.

Most of the fabrics for our products come from selected, certified knitting and weaving mills in Europe. We obtain a few materials from Asia because we have not yet found a comparable quality in Europe for certain products.
We are in close contact with the manufacturers and therefore know the exact origin of all our fabrics. In the meantime, we can also increasingly track where the yarns of the materials come from - if they are not even twisted by the fabric manufacturer.

RYZON was founded in Cologne in 2016. To this day, our headquarters and our flagship store are located in the heart of Cologne - and that's how it should stay.
There are also two other permanent stores in Munich and Girona (Spain). In other places in Europe we are always represented with temporary pop-up stores.
The majority of our products are manufactured in Europe. This creates a physical proximity to our producers, which we appreciate very much.

In 2016 Mario, Fabian and Markus founded RYZON. Read more about the history of the founding here. A lot has happened since then and many like-minded people have joined the journey. You can find out who that is here under People behind the brand .

Our products represent a careful balance of functionality, comfort and sophisticated aesthetics. It is the result of extensive testing and constant optimization. It is our aim to rethink highly functional sportswear every day and to keep raising standards through innovation and creativity. This also applies to responsible procurement and production. We are currently doing most of this in Europe and can therefore guarantee a high quality in terms of fit, workmanship and material of our products.

We are part of the clothing industry - and are therefore in one of the greatest areas of conflict of our time. But instead of being part of the problem, we want to be part of the solution. We want to combine the development of premium sportswear with acting for the common good and make decisions every day that we can represent 100%. By taking responsibility for our actions, we want to work with you to change the sportswear industry for the better. By raising awareness, maximum transparency and careful use of resources - on a social, economic and ecological level.

We already do

The way is long. But we go with full conviction. Step by step.

• Our clothing - and thus over 90% of the entire collection - is already manufactured entirely in the EU . Due to the applicable EU labor law, we can therefore guarantee fair conditions in the manufacture of our products and also short transport routes. At the same time, we benefit from close contact with our producers in Lithuania, Portugal, Romania, Italy, the Czech Republic and Germany. A few accessories are made by our long-term partners in Asia, as we have not been able to find any comparable producers in Europe so far.
• Most of our fabrics are already sourced from certified European embroideries and weaving mills , so we always know exactly where and how they are produced. Increasingly, we can also trace the origin of the yarns.
• Since 2020 we have been offsetting our annual CO2 emissions from company operations together with Climate Partner . This includes direct emissions (electricity and heat generation, vehicle fleet, volatile gases) and indirect emissions from purchased energy, business trips and employee travel ( more on CO2 neutrality at RYZON ). In order to further reduce our emissions, we changed the electricity provider for our headquarters in Cologne in June 2022. We now obtain 100% green electricity from hydropower via Polarstern .
• We offer a repair service for damaged RYZON products and thus actively extend the life of your clothing.
• As part of our refurbished program , we carefully refurbish products with small flaws and offer them at a discounted price. In this way we give these products a new life together.
• With the profit from the sale of the United in Humanity collection, we support social sports projects worldwide.
• To ensure that your order is shipped as resource-efficiently as possible, we pack our products in reusable polybags made from 100% recycled plastic and use individually tailored boxes.
• We see it as our obligation to deal carefully with the resource "employees" in addition to external resources. We live a corporate culture in which everyone can develop according to their own possibilities and potential. Self-determined, flexible and free work paves the way to self-efficacy and satisfaction.

the next steps

We have already been able to implement some small and larger projects and thus contribute our part to a better and fairer sporting goods industry. But there is still so much more to do.

• In order to be able to offer you maximum transparency about the origin of our products, we are currently working together with retraced on a transparent supply chain . In our view, finding out where products come from and under what conditions they are manufactured is essential in order to raise awareness of the issue and bring about long-term social change.
• Indirect emissions occurring outside the company, such as from the manufacture of raw materials and preliminary products, external logistics and the use and disposal of products, are not yet part of our climate neutrality. We are already working on taking the next big step and offsetting the emissions from the manufacture of our products in the future.

We, too, learn new things every day and approach new areas. If you have any questions or input on the topic of "corporate responsibility", please feel free to contact us atinfo@ryzon.net at any time.
