Hi everyone,
Last night I was thinking about Jumping® and the manufacture of our trampolines, about all the people around us who support us and whose lives have changed with Jumping®.
But... dismal thoughts crept into my mind as every now and then I hear that our trampolines are made in China.
Actually, it is true that I have never posted anything and that we never comment on this issue.

So where does the truth lie? :-)
2011년, 요즘 인기 있는 육각형 프레임을 출시한 이후로 우리는 모든 Jumping® 제품을 체코에서 제조하고 있습니다. 타보르가 핵심 단어입니다. 우리의 제조 및 조립 홀은 타보르(남부 보헤미아)에 위치해 있으며, 여기서 톰áš와 제가 왔습니다. 우리의 인스타그램 계정을 팔로우하는 분들은 이미 이 제조 현장에서의 라이브 스트리밍 비디오와 다른 게시물을 보셨을 것입니다. 2011년, 우리가 자체 생산을 시작했을 때, 트램폴린은 이전에 세계가 익숙했던 모습과는 완전히 다른 모습으로 변했습니다. 더 이상 둥근 프레임, 삐걱거리는 고무줄, 부서진 스프링, 저품질 중국 재료는 없습니다. 우리는 스스로와 이전 공급업체에게 충분하다고 말했습니다. 육각형 형태 선택의 이유에 대해서는 우리의 블로그 게시물 "왜 육각형인가"에서 읽어보실 수 있습니다.
I don’t line stupid people; this is why we now have our own team of people who have been working with our company for many years, putting their hearts into their work, trying their best.
Whenever I come to the workshop and watch the guys assembling the trampolines or Maruška sewing mats together I get this soothing feeling that heals all rumours and grievance.
In a nutshell, there are several sections and separate halls.
- In the first hall hexagonal frames are made from square tubes to which legs are joined by welding.
- In the second hall these frames are stored and wait for black komaxit protective coating.
- In the third hall hexagonal shapes are cut out from a thick roll and our amazing colleague Maruška sews mats from them. The material used for mats is made in the USA and it is the best quality material that can be used for the Jumping® trampolines. We offer black and pink mats. We are particularly proud of the pink ones as the supplier offers them to its top customers only. That’s heart-warming :-) The standard colour of the trampoline hem is black or green. It has no special function, being just a matter of colour design. We can deliver the hems in any colour as we have them on stock. But because we want our trampolines to keep a high design standard we try to avoid too wild colour combinations.
- The fourth hall is home to our master stringers with their leather gloves who string one trampoline after another. They understand their work and have years of experience. Rubber ropes that attach the mat to the trampoline frame must be of a precisely measured length. This system has been perfected over the years so we are not going to change it.
- In the same hall, the trampolines are packed before they are ready for shipping to you. This hall accommodates also offices of our dispatching and invoicing specialists :-)
So what is the point I’m trying to make by saying all this? :-D
I love my work. I think that those who know me know that this is what I am ... and what I want to say in this post is that the trampoline you are purchasing is not just a piece of a randomly painted tube frame.
The trampoline you are getting is NO ORDINARY TRAMPOLINE; before it reached you it had been worked on by several pairs of hands and its frame was checked by several pairs of eyes :-D, it was gently touched during stringing, handled with extreme caution, and in gloves when packed into boxes ...
After all these steps the trampoline is ready to be sent to the world to face a new adventure and - ABOVE ALL - to MAKE YOU HAPPY :-)
MADE IN CZECH REPUBLIC. MADE WITH LOVE.
With love Jana
