History

Samcon was founded in 1996 by Rudy Van Gijsel, with the ambition to advise with the purchase and organization of top sports labs building on his experience in sports medical counseling. The range was rapidely extended to rehabilitation and research equipment resulting out of the search for innovations and the urge to offer them on the Benelux market. This way, a number of milestones were set with the introduction of innovating developments, always ahead of time as true pioneers:
