Manique have been designing and developing gymnastics equipment, in conjunction with elite coaches and gymnasts, for over 60 years. Every single Manique product has been carefully created by our highly skilled team in the UK. These products have helped thousands of gymnasts compete, and many elite gymnasts have won medals and titles with Manique.
Products are solely made from carefully selected, premium materials, meaning these are high performance apparatus. Manique offers more innovative variations of style, sizing, colour, strap and form than any other manufacturer, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
When it comes to manufacture, every handguard, precision-fit product and many of our accessories are made right here in the UK. Our highly skilled team work from our Manique workshop in the small town of Wooler, at the foot of the Cheviot hills. Every product on this page is proudly handmade in the UK.
Great care is taken with all of our products and we never lose sight of the importance of our work for all of the gymnasts, coaches, clubs and parents we supply. We’re proud to be an important part of Gymnastics past, present and future, helping you to grasp your dreams.
