Until the 2000s, Stiga Table Tennis Rubbers were among the most played table tennis rubbers. Who doesn't remember the cracking sound of a Stiga Neos Sound or the controlled properties of the Mendo rubbers? With the ban on speed glue and the success of tensor rubbers, Stiga rubbers, which were mainly produced in Japan, were increasingly pushed out of the market. It was not until 2019 that Stiga could offer its own tensors that could compete with the rubbers of the major competitors.
