About Nationman (Thailand) Co., Ltd.

Nationman (Thailand) Co., Ltd. is located at 23/186 Moo 8, Soi Thessaban 1, Thessaban 1 Road, Om Yai, Sam Phran, Nakhon Pathom. It was founded in 1981 by Mr. Sanae Jaruwarapirom, Executive Chairman, who pioneered the manufacture and sale of knitted elastic muscle supports in Thailand as a replacement for elastic sprain bandages. These supports protect every part of the body from injuries caused by daily activities that put heavy strain on muscles, joints and tendons; relieve aches and reduce inflammation for people with muscle, bone, ligament and Achilles tendon problems; and prevent injuries from exercise and all kinds of sport.

The company also manufactures and sells a complete range of Thai sporting goods, including footballs, futsal balls, volleyballs, basketballs, pétanque balls, sepak takraw balls, table tennis balls, athletics equipment, boxing kit and equipment, taekwondo kit and equipment, and sportswear for competition and casual training. It also produces made-to-order goods such as T-shirts, polo shirts, vests, shorts and trousers, tracksuits, standard-size boxing rings with complete competition equipment, football goals, table tennis tables, basketball stands, sepak takraw posts, volleyball posts and movable multi-sport posts – a wide, complete range that lives up to the slogan “Nationman – everything for sport”

For almost 40 years, “Nationman” has made products with conviction, confidence and responsibility, focusing on high quality that rivals foreign brands but at prices Thais can afford, with the goal of meeting customers' expectations in products, price and service – our highest priority. As a result, “Nationman” products have led the market on quality for many years, spread by word of mouth until earning the trust and acceptance of both Thai and international users.

Sport and exercise involve people of every gender and age, from childhood to old age. Exercise helps develop the body, brain and intellect, builds skills, thinking, cooperation, unity and sportsmanship, and much more. It is also a creative activity that brings fun and enjoyment, relieves stress from study or work, and reduces the risk of turning to harmful drugs.

  1. Professional and amateur athletes
  2. Students
  3. Families and people who care for their health through exercise
  4. People who want to protect their bodies from sports injuries
  5. People at risk in daily life, such as lifting heavy objects, walking, running or standing for long periods
  6. Patients with muscle, bone, joint or Achilles tendon problems
  7. The elderly
