That’s what we stand for.

All Sport is a family-owned distribution company, established in the 70’s in Belgium, where the HQ and warehouse are still located today. Over the years, our business and organization have expanded internationally.

Our goal has always been to make our brands successful within the European market, by focusing on the customer's needs and connecting closely with the brands.

We aim to stand out thanks to our human approach and solution-oriented mindset. We invest in local country offices, the integration of fully dedicated sales teams and a multi-lingual customer service department.

Sales from the heart of our company. It all starts here.
Brand-dedicated sales teams invest in a long-term and local connection with our customers, driven by a high level of educational, inspirational and retail support.

We always strive to facilitate the complexity of bringing premium brands to market. Showrooms, sales tools and human interaction define our level of sales service that is highly appreciated by both our brand partners and retailers in the marketplace.

Inbound

We work very closely with our global sourcing partners to bring our products into Europe, often by sea or by air. Detailed planning and daily communication are key to make sure our products arrive safely and on time at our warehouse in Belgium.

Warehousing

It has always been one of our strategic pillars to have full control of all warehousing activities. In our opinion this is the only way to remain flexible, innovative and responsive to change in a highly dynamic environment. Our warehouse is equiped with efficient IT solutions, and is able to offer value-added services.
