A 25-year history of collaboration with major brands has helped launch ground-breaking sporting products, including all adidas major tournament footballs since 2004, Canterbury and Nike World Cup Rugby shirts and Callaway Golf’s Big Bertha range of clubs. Burton is the latest global brand to partner the Institute. The snowboard giant seeks to embed advanced manufacturing technologies developed at Loughborough University into its core product range. The Institute is helping UK brands such as Umbro and Reebok Fitness Equipment remain at the forefront of innovation. A project developing footwear for the individual athlete is transferring the University’s advanced manufacturing expertise to leading running shoe specialist New Balance. New Balance has a substantial manufacturing base in Cumbria producing circa three million pairs of shoes per year. Loughborough University and UK Sport are working on a major Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council initiative with Imperial College London to develop pervasive sensing technologies. The underwater monitoring technology is being exploited within the automotive and aeronautical sectors as well as swimming. The Institute’s partnership with the Youth Sport Trust and Sains- burys Active Kids soon sees the launch of multi-use play equipment to encourage more physical activity in and outside schools.
