Equipment

PBT was established in 1991 as a family company. The World Championship organized in Hungary in this year, gave us the courage to start this business. Several foreign fencing companies were selling their equipment on that competition but none was Hungarian. At this time, there was no firm in Hungary, that sold fencing equipment therefore this was a great chance for us. The founder and technical director of the company Mr. Imre Kovacs was the member of the National Junior and Senior foil fencing team. When he finished his sport career he started to work as jury and the member of presidency of Hungarian Fencing Association.
Our company is led by the managing director, sales director, technical director and 45 employer help us in production and sales.

In 1991 our first name was Párbaj Bt. When the Párbaj Bt. became limited company a new name was chosen; PBT in order not to change the popular name. By now PBT as company name has become popular in the world among fencers.

In the beginning, our purpose was to provide fencing equipment to all Hungarian fencers. The Hungarian industry was suitable to produce these kinds of products. Firstly the shoes and the gloves became popular among fencers. Later we developed our own styled fencing equipment. Now we are able to provide all personal equipment and technical tools to our customers. Soon, not only Hungarians got interested in our products but also fencers from other countries.
The Hungarian fencing sport has been successful for many years. Hungarian coaches have been teaching fencing all over the world. About 12-15 world competitions take place in Hungary every year. All this made it possible that the PBT products became well known all over the world.
