About us | GETRO a/s

Our Story

This organisation and the congenial portfolio reflect the core of Getro, chiefly being the ambidextrous ability to toggle both sports and fashion with a long-term perspective. Getro started 1987 with the purpose of bringing out the quintessence of what we work with, 32 years later we can thankfully still state that we stay true to that purpose.

CEO & founder Palle Rasmussen

1984

Getro A/S was founded in 1987 with a keen focus on street inspired sportswear and boxing gear. Georg and Troels were the two dentists that gave their names to the abbreviation GETRO, as they helped invent the first industrial produced boxing mouthpiece in Denmark, creating a dental guard with the unique feature of being able to be fitted to its owner.

1987

Alongside the production of sporting goods, Getro also began importing Converse all-star, an at the time unknown shoe brand on the Danish marked. This collaboration took the shoes and turned them, from an obscurity outside of basketball, into a fashionable street brand, enjoying, to this day, a strong credibility rooted within old-school street-basket.

1988

In 1988 Getro commenced another collaboration with a sports and fashion brand, as a distributorship on Fred Perry was established. Fred Perry himself guested Getro at least once a year through his lifetime, carrying each time, his friendship and a special interest in the joint effort of developing and positioning his brand in Denmark.

"This is my office"

In 1991 a partnership with Arena swim wear was initiated, which strengthened the roots of Getro, reigniting the heritage of sportswear. This branch was nurtured furthermore in 1998 when Oglam, the renowned sports bras manufacturer, was added to the portfolio of brands.

2000

In 2000 55DSL suggested a collaboration, which along with the initiation of a collaboration with Alpha industries led to the current structure of the organization, where a strong segmentation between the sports division and the fashion division has been made.
