Sport-Saller was created in 1972 in Tauberrettersheim, Germany. It was created by Richard Saller, who at the time was a football coach. Saller originally started as a footballing business, but soon turned its attention to creating sporting goods company that develops, produces, and sells their own sportswear. Saller first opened a sportswear store with the idea of being able to equip local sports teams with the equipment they needed.

In 1990 Sport-Saller moved to Weikersheim where the company had built an office building, a sports shop, storage space, areas to organise dispatches, and areas for manufacturing.[2] Along with the new office building a modern sports hall was built to help train motivated and talented young players.[3] Saller also sponsor a series of initiatives with the company promoting and sponsoring a series of football and sports schools for children around Germany[4]

The company expanded its operations to Georgia in 2008 and opened a trade centre in Tbilisi, supplying the Georgian Olympic Committee.[9]

In 2010 they signed a contract with the Gambia Football Federation with the deal including all the national teams, namely U17, U20 and U23 teams, the senior national team and the female national team.[10]

In 2014 they supplied the kits of Lechia Gdańsk[11] on a 2 year contract.[12]
