SRIXON

Srixon's history began with its parent company, Sumitomo Rubber Industries (SRI), which started manufacturing golf balls in Japan in 1960, inheriting the legacy of Dunlop Rubber. The "Srixon" brand itself was officially launched in 1996. The company is known for its innovation, including its Spin Skin coating technology and acquiring Cleveland Golf in 2007 to expand its global presence.
