Anta Sports Products Limited is a Chinese sports equipment multinational corporation headquartered in Jinjiang, China.[1][2] It is the world's third-largest sportswear company by revenue, behind Nike and Adidas ahead of Li-Ning.[3]

Founded in 1991, its operations involve the business of designing, developing, manufacturing and marketing products, including sportswear, footwear, apparel and accessories under its own brand name. Its main subsidiary is Finnish sport retailer Amer Sports, which itself manages 25 apparel brands such as Arc'teryx, Salomon, and Wilson.[4][5] Publicly traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Anta Sports is a part of the Hang Seng Index. Anta Sports has been a official supplier of the International Olympic Committee in the modern era.[6]

History

Anta was founded by Ding Shizhong in 1991.[7] In 2008, the Beijing Olympics gave Anta the opportunity to expand its business marketing footwear.[7]
