AFL footballer Trent Croad noticed a lack of
affordable, quality hair styling products that either himself and his
friends could use.
Trent and wife Tanya soon decided to solve the
problem and formed the Australian owned company 'Gear Hair Technology' with the
one product 'Gear hair pomade' launched onto the market in August 2005.
The Australian made product received a fantastic
response from young males all over Australia who soon became hooked on GEAR.
Following the huge success of their first product,
Gear Hair Technology launched 1st Gear Shampoo and
2nd Gear Conditioner in June
2006 to form the GEAR range.
The company has not looked back since then, with not
only a large and growing distribution obtained within Australia but also
throughout the world. Gear's first stop was Korea where the products were
launched onto the market at an official launch at the Grand Hyatt Seoul.
Now in NZ and the UK the company is on the move.
So where to now? With plans to expand our range
further in 2008 and a strong focus on increasing our distribution throughout the
world, the company looks like having a very positive future.
All Gear hair products are Australian made and owned.
