About Wilson
Wilson Sporting Goods was founded in Chicago in 1913 as a subsidiary of a meatpacking company, initially manufacturing natural gut strings for tennis rackets from animal by-products. Under Thomas E. Wilson's leadership from 1915, the company transformed into a sporting goods powerhouse. Wilson owns Luxilon (acquired in 2004), making them the dominant force in professional tennis strings. From natural gut to NXT multifilament to Revolve polyester, Wilson offers strings for every level. Wilson is also the official ball of the US Open and French Open.
