Pallini, a Champion's Story

Created in 1992, Pallini is a French manufacturer of sports equipment based in Le Trait (76).

Managed by Franck Collinot, who began weightlifting in 1986, Pallini is first and foremost a story of sporting success.

From 1989 to 1996, Franck Collinot won 10 individual French Championship titles. From 1996 to 2001, back in Avallon (89), his hometown, Franck Collinot won the National 1 French Championship and several titles, including Best French Club (minimes, cadets, juniors).

In 2001, the French Weightlifting Federation recruited him to take charge of the French Junior and Under-23 teams at INSEP. In 2002, things accelerated: Franck Collinot became the coach of the French Olympic team and achieved 23 international medals, including 3 European titles, 2 world titles, and a silver medal at the Beijing 2008 Olympics with Vencelas Dabaya.

At Pallini, our products for weightlifting, powerlifting, bodybuilding, and cross-training are designed with the same vision: to perform and win.
