Mitre International has acquired Prostar, the UK sports team kit and training wear brand.
Mitre has said the two businesses will continue to trade independently for the foreseeable future.
“Prostar’s excellence in teamwear and Mitre’s strength in sports, including football, rugby, netball and cricket, make for a strong combination,” says Gary Hibbert, managing director of Mitre International.
“We are delighted with the acquisition and look forward to bringing together two of the UK’s longest standing providers of sports equipment to benefit grassroots football and team sports in the UK.”
Mitre International is owned by the Pentland Group, which owns a portfolio of brands including Speedo, Berghaus, Ellesse and Kickers.
