Rogelli clothing what company is this? A short history of the brand that produces cycling and running clothing

History

Rogelli Sportswear was founded in 1974 in North Brabant, the heart of the Dutch cycling world. Rogelli Sportswear has been successful for years, and in 1992 Rini Wagtmans acquired the Rogelli brand as part of GOWA Sportswear BV, based in Sint Willebrord.

Rini Wagtmans was a professional cyclist and participated in the Tour de France four times. He is one of the Dutchmen who rode the well-known yellow jersey during the Tour de France. He had a brilliant cycling career ahead of him until his health began to suffer. He developed heart problems and had to stop cycling. But his passion for cycling remained and Rini decided to start a cycling clothing company. He knew like no one else what good and exceptionally comfortable cycling clothing should have, and he set himself the goal of improving clothing for cyclists. Based on his own experience and knowledge, he commissioned cycling clothing that was not only functional, but above all comfortable. It turned out to be a good move and Rogelli developed into a successful cycling clothing brand.

Rogelli is a real family business

Rini's son Marijn Wagtmans took over the company in 1996. He saw new opportunities and under his leadership Rogelli grew into an international sportswear brand. As e-commerce and online marketing became more and more important in the business world, the third generation was ready to modernize the company. Rini's two grandsons, Melvin and Michael Wagtmans, have been running the company since 2018. Melvin, Marijn's youngest son, is responsible for organizational matters as CEO, while his older brother Michael, as Creative Director, is mainly responsible for the development of the collection. A collection for men, women and kids that no longer consists of just cycling clothing, but has now been expanded to include running clothing, triathlon clothing, fitness clothing and even a free-form line.

Rogella's clear vision

Since the acquisition of the third generation, Rogelli has been building a sustainable future. Melvin Wagtmans: “Our mission is to enable as many people as possible to play their favorite sport in comfortable sportswear. We believe that we can create sportswear where everyone can enjoy sports: amateurs, professionals and everything in between. Enjoying your distance in high-quality and functional sportswear, that's what we stand for." Rogelli's slogan is "Enjoy your distance" for a reason. This motto is reflected not only in the design of clothing, where comfort is still the most important thing, but also in the story that Rogelli tells. Everyone who buys sportswear from Rogelli is part of this story. A story about the joy of sport.

Where is Rogelli clothing produced?

Currently, cycling clothing is produced in several countries. Basic models such as Rogelli Perugia 2.0 cycling jersey, women's cycling jersey Rogelli Abbey or Rogelli ECON cycling shorts are made in China. These are the basic models of Rogelli cycling clothing products, which have been very popular for years. Also the price-quality ratio is sensational. It is hard to find another brand that would offer such a wide range of summer and winter cycling clothing. For all seasons, absolutely everyone will find something for themselves.

Other more expensive models of Rogelli cycling clothing are manufactured in the European Union and these are countries such as Italy or Poland. Examples of models produced in Europe are, for example, a women's cycling jersey Rogelli FLORA Rogelli animal waves, or a men's cycling t-shirt Rogelli Team 2.0. A big advantage of production in the EU is the fact that the materials used for the production of Rogelli cycling clothing are of better quality. Also, the cycling inserts sewn into Rogelli cycling shorts come from Italian factories specializing in the production of cycling inserts, and you must know that Italian cycling inserts are considered to be one of the best in the world, you will find them in virtually most premium brands of cycling clothing from around the world. Even Chinese brands that produce cycling clothing use Italian materials and inserts for cycling shorts, so that says something. Unfortunately, European Rogelli products have one downside, namely their price is sometimes 2-3 times higher than those made in China, but something for something. We want to have great quality and the best technologies, but unfortunately we have to pay more for it, but less than with other global brands.
