PBT was established in 1991 as a family company. The World Championship organized in Hungary gave us the courage to start the business. Several brands were displayed and sold at the championship but none of them was Hungarian.In the beginning, PBT's purpose was to provide fencing equipment to Hungarian fencers. The Hungarian industry was suitable to produce these products. First our branded shoes and gloves became popular among fencers. Soon we developed a range of our own styled fencing equipment and started to expand around the world.
PBT is the official supplier of the Hungarian Fencing Federation, partner of the International Fencing Federation. We sponsor many young talented and worldwidely famous, Hungarian and foreign fencers as well. We are proud that Olympic and World champions and medallists reached their success in PBT equipment. Bence Szabó, Tímea Nagy, Zsolt Nemcsik, Áron Szilágyi, Erinn Smart, Keeth Smart, Ana Branza, the Ukrainian women's sabre team and the Romanian women's epée team are among others.For fencers FROM CHILDREN TO ADULT FROM BEGINNER TO CHAMPION, we offer good quality and safe fencing equipment with fast and reliable customer service. Approximately 90% of our products are made in Hungary in our factory. Under production process we completely stress on quality control. Our equipment are strictly tested by international accredited laboratories and meet all the standards required by FIE and CE (Certificate Europe).
