Company Profile: Johann Tripmacker GmbH (Trimona)

Johann Tripmacker GmbH – known by the brand name Trimona – was founded in 1887 and has since specialized in high-performance products for the sports sector. Trimona developed the world’s first handball wax – the iconic “green tin.”

What began as a response to the growing demand for resin among handball players has become an essential part of professional sports. Our handball resins have been continuously refined and have delivered optimal ball control and precision play for decades. National and international champions – including European and World Cup winners – rely on the proven quality of our products.

Today, Trimona products are used not only in handball, but also in sports such as rugby, diving, athletics, and baseball. In addition to our classic adhesive waxes, we offer sweat-reducing grip solutions without stickiness – popular in bodybuilding, climbing/bouldering, arm wrestling, and pole dancing.

The growing demand across diverse sports drives us to develop custom solutions tailored to each discipline – with a focus on grip, hold, and top performance.

We are constantly evolving and our product range continued to grow over the years. Today our products include synthetic resins, sweat-reducing grip enhancers, as well as resin removers and other cleaning agents.

Our Trimona products are not only suitable for handball players. We have something for almost every sport. For beginners as well as professionals. Trimona products have already helped win several world titles.
