Inside Gearbox

Gearbox is more than the products we build. It's the people, ideas, experiences, and stories that continue to shape who we are. From our founder's vision to the athletes, partners, and communities around the world, every chapter is shaped by a shared passion for sport, innovation, and craftsmanship.

Welcome Inside Gearbox.

Our Story

Every great company starts somewhere. Gearbox started in a garage with an engineer, a love for sport, and a simple belief: there was a better way.

Founder Rafael Filippini has always been driven by curiosity and a desire to challenge conventional thinking. From the earliest prototypes to today's patented technologies, Gearbox has never been afraid to pursue ideas others believed couldn't be done. That fearless spirit continues to define who we are today.

Every innovation is driven by one purpose: to create equipment that gives athletes every possible advantage while feeling like a natural extension of their hand.

Today, Gearbox remains founder-led and family-owned, guided by the same curiosity and passion that started it all. We don't simply follow the game—we're committed to helping move it forward.

Built On Innovation

At Gearbox, innovation isn't measured by product launches or clever marketing—it's measured by creating solutions that have never existed before. To be awarded a utility patent means creating something truly original, not simply adapting an idea that already exists. It's proof that an innovation is genuinely new.

Over the past decade, Gearbox has built a portfolio of nearly 50 awarded and patent-pending utility patents, each reflecting our commitment to creating equipment that is not just different, but better. We believe it's these meaningful innovations—often the smallest refinements—that give athletes the edge to perform at their best.

Innovation has always been part of our DNA. Discover the engineering, testing, and relentless pursuit behind our innovations inside 3AM by Gearbox.

Our People & Athletes

Sport has a way of bringing out the very best in us. Whether you're chasing a world title or simply playing with friends, the passion for the game is something every athlete understands.

At Gearbox, we believe that same passion is what connects us. The relentless pursuit of better, the willingness to put in the work, and the courage to push beyond our limits are the same qualities that drive our team, our athletes, and our community around the world.

Our products aren't just built through engineering—they're built through a shared love of sport. When passion meets purpose, our products speak to the hearts of athletes who share the same fearless pursuit of better.

Around the World

Sport speaks a universal language. It crosses cultures, unites communities, and connects us through a shared passion for the game and the pursuit of something better.

That same passion has carried Gearbox far beyond where it all began. Today, Gearbox is trusted by athletes in more than 30 countries, supported by a global network of retail partners, distributors, ambassadors, and communities who share our commitment to innovation and performance.

No matter where the game is played, the pursuit remains the same—to learn, improve, compete, and inspire the next generation of athletes. We're proud to be part of that journey and excited for where it takes us next.
