ASG International Srl
The ASG Group was originally founded in 1999 by Heinrich Dannhauser in South Africa as a diverse organisation involved in software development, management consulting, and more. In 2006, after great success in all the above areas, Heinrich decided to expand into the sports distribution industry. He did this with the establishment of ASG Sport Solutions (www.asgsport.co.za) and securing the exclusive agency for Rudy Project, Pinarello and Sidi in Southern Africa. In 2011 ASG International (www.asgint.com) was established as a strategic partnership between ASG Sport Solutions South Africa and Italian bike bag company SCICON (www.sciconbags.com). In 2017 ASG International expanded its operations to include specialised sport sponsorship, licensing and marketing services in the form of ASG Sport Management (www.asgsportmanagement.com) based in Montecarlo (Monaco). Beginning of 2018 ASG North America was formed as a strategic entry point to the American endurance sports market. In order to booster ASG North America's strategic position, Ellsworth (www.ellsworthbikes.com) were introduced to the brand portfolio. ASG North America will assume the role of distribution for SCICON within the USA.
