Manufacturer Profile: ballaballa - Your Source for Artistic, Theatrical, and Gift Items

Welcome to ballaballa, your reliable partner for artistic, theatrical, and gift items. Our story begins in the early 80s at the renowned Cologne Sports University, where three passionate classmates discovered their love for sports and movement. However, it was the fascinating world of juggling in all its forms—be it with balls, clubs, or diabolos—that captured their hearts.

Driven by fun and passion, they began offering courses, igniting the love for juggling in many others. The response was overwhelming, leading them to expand their activities to circus arts, theater, schools, social institutions, and numerous other establishments. The positive feedback encouraged them to take on bigger challenges.

In the mid-80s, they took the leap into entrepreneurship by opening one of Germany's first specialized stores for juggling equipment in the heart of Cologne. The tiny store, with just 15 square meters of space, quickly became a hotspot for juggling enthusiasts. Customers appreciated the carefully curated selection, high-quality products, and expert advice.

Towards the late 80s, they relocated to Zülpicher Straße 39, where they expanded their range to include athletic games, creative balloons, as well as gift and novelty items. Soon, ballaballa gained a reputation as a place where you could always find something extraordinary.

Due to increasing inquiries from business customers, they established a wholesale division in the basement, giving birth to ballaballa GmbH. Their chosen product range, which blended the joy of play, fitness, self-confidence, and creativity, gained ever-increasing popularity.

In the early 90s, the wholesale division moved to Volksgartenstraße, marking the first spatial separation between the wholesale and retail operations. The diverse product range and high-quality products became well-known among resellers.

Meanwhile, one of the founders pursued his dream as a juggler and artist. At the beginning of the new millennium, the wholesale division relocated to Steyler Straße, expanding as a company. A larger warehouse facilitated smoother product shipping.

All ballaballa GmbH team members have deep roots in the artistic and theatrical community. This allows for the early recognition, promotion, and testing of creative innovations, leading to a continuous refreshment and improvement of the product range. The two partners bring their expertise in sports science and education from their studies to enhance product quality.

Today, ballaballa is a small to medium-sized company, recognized as a leading player in the industry and the community. Our retail store is known nationwide, and our wholesale division enjoys an excellent reputation among retailers and manufacturers across Europe.
