Polisport Plastics

Corridor footprint

Polisport Plásticos S.A. is a Portuguese plastic-parts specialist founded in 1978 and headquartered at Av. Ferreira de Castro 818, 3720-024 Carregosa, in the Oliveira de Azeméis municipality of the Aveiro district. As part of the Polisport Group — six companies, 365 employees — it serves more than 70 countries with off-road motorcycle and bicycle plastic components, exporting roughly 95% of production. The group works with major motorcycle OEMs including KTM, Husqvarna, Triumph and GasGas, and develops own-brand consumer ranges under Polisport, Bobike (child bicycle seats) and Headgy Helmets.

Polisport’s Nordic footprint is built through specialist motorcycle and bicycle distributors rather than direct subsidiaries. In Denmark, three named distributors carry the catalogue: Mogens Erikstrup in Valby, PSE Parts in Esbjerg V, and the 90+-store Thansen network. In Finland, the brand is served by Duell Bike Center Ab in Mustasaari/Vaasa and Uimonen Trading Oy in Tampere. Together these distributor relationships put Polisport-branded plastics, helmets and child seats on Nordic dealer shelves alongside the OEM channels its components feed into upstream.

Why this matters for the corridor

Polisport is one of the cleanest examples of a Portuguese mid-cap industrial group converting OEM-grade plastics expertise into a multi-distributor Nordic distribution network. For Portuguese exporters of consumer-and-trade goods looking at the Nordics, the model — one to three named distributors per country, layered on top of OEM contracts — is a directly transferable template.
