Sanspareils Greenlands is an Indian cricket equipment manufacturer that you probably never heard of, but we all know the brand SG.
SG is an abbreviation for Sanspareils and Greenland companies with the vision of balance, power and precision.
The use of the bats is fairly widespread in international cricket.
Here follows a short history of the company to understand the depth of experience in manufacturing cricket equipment.
The two brothers Kedarnath and Dwarakanath Anand established Sanspareils Company in Sialkot in 1931.
In 1940 they established a company named Greenlands to facilitate export of their products. Why hit singles when there are boundaries to cross?
The cricket factory has been in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh since 1950.
SG has been exporting bats to the UK and Australia. According to my knowledge, they also manufacture bats for other international brands aswell.
SG loves to manufacture custom bats to the professionals needs. With 70 years of experience and working alongside the top players they understand how to shape a bat to the player’s style and needs.
For this reason the company has been the market leader in the world with legends like Sunil Gavaskar, Mohammad Azharuddin and Rahul Dravid endorsing the brand.
