SPALDING/DUDLEY CANADA

TFG Marketing, Inc. is the exclusive Canadian distributor of Spalding inflatbles and Dudley softballs.

Spalding is a sporting goods company started in Chicago by A.G. Spalding in 1876. Spalding manufactures goods for many sports, including baseball, soccer, softball, volleyball, football, and most well known, basketball. The premium ball is the official ball of the NBA, which has contributed to continual growth.

Spalding is also a leader in technology. In 2001 the Infusion technology hit the market with great success, which features a built in micro pump which allows one to add air without a pump or needle. Spalding furthered the Infusion technology in 2003; they started manufacturing basketballs with Infusion technology so that pgs could also release air without a needle. The Infusion3 came out in 2005. Infusion3 is a dual action micro pump that works twice as fast as its predecessors. In late 2005 Spalding also came out with the NEVERFLAT technology, which guarantees that the ball will keep the same consistent bounce for at least one year. This eliminates the need for a pump and needle, at least for the first year. Spalding uses Nitroflate molecules to seal in the air and to prevent it from leaking out as it does in traditional basketballs.
