Xtep International Holdings Limited (Chinese: 特步; pinyin: Tèbù) is a publicly traded sportswear company headquartered in Hong Kong, and Xiamen, Fujian, China. It is engaged in the design, development, manufacture and sales of sportswear under the company-owned "Xtep" brand.[1]
It was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in June 2008.[2]
On 18 January 2010, Xtep released a press statement confirming they had secured a five-year kit sponsorship deal worth around £7m with English Premier League club Birmingham City.[3] Birmingham's vice chairman Peter Pannu hailed the deal as "the biggest sponsorship the club has acquired" and stated that "Xtep are big players in the sportswear market in China and this partnership will expand the Birmingham City FC brand in the Far East." However, on 29 June 2012 Birmingham City announced that they scrapped the five-year deal. [4]
