LUXILON®: MUCH MORE THAN A STRING MANUFACTURER
Pro players love this string, and for several years Luxilon® has been taking care of the stringing service at a number of international tournaments.
As of 2018, Luxilon® has become the official stringer of the European Open, an ATP 250 tournament that is the biggest tennis event on Belgian territory.
Finally, with its 5 lines of strings meeting the needs of all types of players, Luxilon BeLux has been supporting many talented Belgian and Luxembourg players for several years.
But Luxilon®'s ambition goes much further than just manufacturing tennis strings. In 2019, the Antwerp-based company has signed a cooperation agreement with the Association Francophone de Tennis asbl (AFT). It is also committed to organizing stringing services in tennis clubs so that recreational players can test all the Belgian manufacturer's string types.
The pursuit of sustainability by striving to reduce its ecological impact on the world at every stage of production has led Luxilon® to establish itself as the forerunner in the manufacture of sustainable tennis strings from 100% recycled plastic bottles: Luxilon Eco Power and Luxilon Eco Rough were born.
LUXILON® INDUSTRIES s.a. : a Belgian success story founded in 1959
By far the best !
Luxilon® is much more than a string manufacturer. We're proud to be able to successfully accomplish our mission, and to play a pioneering role in both innovation and technology.
Our business model, whose key words are leadership and customer focus, is based on Total Quality Management. To guarantee the highest possible quality of our products, we invest in a motivated team of valuable employees.
Luxilon® was the first synthetic string manufacturer to introduce high-end co-polyester monofilaments to the tennis world. More than 25 years after their introduction, the quality of our strings remains unrivalled.
Recently, Luxilon® was the first manufacturer to introduce a range of 'ECO' strings made from recycled materials.
”The Luxilon® brand of strings opened up a new era in the history of tennis. Suddenly, I could play hard, without making mistakes, for hours and hours... which was directly related to the quality of my string. From 1997 to today, Luxilon® has changed tennis".
Gustavo Kuerten, may 2017
Playing tennis is my passion, and as I can't bear to play uncomfortably, I'm demanding when it comes to my equipment and materials, which must provide me with comfort and good sensations.
When Luxilon® invited me to become a partner and provided me with a full range of its strings for testing, ALU POWER 125, which I tested first, immediately won me over with its comfort and ease of use.
I'm now stringing in 130, and absolutely nothing has changed.
Luxilon® has radically changed my relationship with string.

Thanks to the forest, improve your well-being and your mental strength
We've been associated with forests and wood for over 100 years, and are fervent defenders of Nature and the Environment. For us, open air life and sport, synonymous with well-being, fitness, physical activity, mental strength and character, are key words for those who want to progress in their professional environment, but also and above all in their private life.
Our job - upstream-downstream forest management, quality inspections, consulting and training - is based not only on reactivity but also on proactivity.
This kind of anticipation of events requires us to devote time to a visionary activity without ever losing sight of our priorities.
Close to nature, and more particularly to forests and rural environnements, we have developed a form of communication and communion with these elements, capable of providing the energy and mental resources needed to achieve a return to cool down and concentration.
Ideal for taking or regaining control of one's life and serenely coping with electric living, we call it Forest Wellness or D-Stress, Green D-Stress.
I love walking and jogging in forests or wide wild natural spaces, where quiet strength of the trees, whisper of the wind, pure air and absence of noise give me enormous calm, concentration and energy.
