history
Igor Klaja , the managing director of OTCF, came up with the idea of selling his own sporting goods while working in a sporting goods store during his studies. Before that, he operated the Outhorn brand, which required little investment. He began to advertise his products in large shopping centers and signed his first sales contracts with Selgros , Tesco and Auchan . Sales in the shopping centers was large, but much too small profit due to low prices, therefore, was founded also by Igor Klaja brand 4Fun that in 2007 under 4F Sport Performance was known and today only 4F is. Today, 4F is active worldwide in online sales and with its own stores nationally and internationally.
