Comment: See WP:NCORP and WP:REFB before spending more time on this. As an encyclopedia we summarise the existing independent and reliable sources about this company, we don't host introduction pieces. So start with the sources and see if notability is there, then from the sources construct the article. Not the other way around. ChrysGalley (talk) 09:17, 8 February 2026 (UTC)
History
Acon was established in northern Finland in 1992. Initially, the company focused on industrial design and engineering for companies such as Rautaruukki. In 1996, founder Tarmo Sallinen pivoted the business toward sports equipment after observing the use of large backyard trampolines in the United States.[1]
The company's first commercial venture involved importing trampolines from the Netherlands, which were sold at campsites and service stations. By the mid-2000s, Acon shifted its strategy to focus on premium trampoline models to differentiate itself from low-cost retail competitors.
International Expansion
In the 2010s, Acon expanded its international sales through e-commerce, entering the Swedish and United States markets.[2] The company utilizes major retail platforms such as Amazon and Walmart for its North American operations. In 2019, international exports accounted for approximately 40% of the company's total revenue.[3] By 2025, the company reported an annual revenue of €14 million and employed 39 people.[4]
Products and Community Engagement
Acon’s product portfolio includes trampolines, rebounders, airtracks, and other exercise- and sports-related products. The products are designed in Finland and manufactured in China. In 2023, the company released the Acon X model, which features a customizable spring system.[5]
The company is involved in the GTramp (Garden Trampoline) community, a freestyle discipline combining acrobatics and parkour.[6] Acon has also influenced safety in the sport. For example, the Dutch athlete Sam De Greef began using the hashtag #NDB (“no double bounce”) in his social media posts. “Double bouncing” refers to additional momentum a jumper gains from another person’s bounce, which can make tricks harder to control and, for instance, propel the jumper too high, increasing the risk of injury.
