Carlton Sports is a British sports equipment brand, focused on badminton and table tennis. Originally established in 1946, Carlton is currently part of the Frasers Group (formerly, "Sports Direct International").[1]

Badminton equipment by Carlton include rackets, shuttlecocks, sportswear, athletic shoes, and bags. For table tennis, Carlton offers rackets, balls, nets and post sets.[2]

Overview

The former Carlton company became a subsidiary group of Dunlop Slazenger International, located in Greenville, South Carolina.[3] When DS was acquired by Sports International, Carlton was part of the group of brands traded.[4][5]

Throughout its history the company has introduced a number of advances to the manufacture of badminton equipment, which ranked its as the first in innovations such as to make an injection molded shuttle, to design and make all-metal racquets, to use stainless steel in the manufacture of racquets, to design a flex system between shaft and handle, and to make a one-shot injection molded shuttle skirt.[3]

The company claims to have sold more nylon shuttlecocks than any other company around the globe.[citation needed] English player and Olympic medalist Nathan Robertson was one of the players using Carlton equipment.[6]
