History
Semua berawal dari bawah. Begitu pula dengan proses sejarah kelahiran Flypower. Pada awal tahun 2002, Fung Permadi bersama Hariyanto Arbi, yang baru mundur dari Pelatnas Cipayung, berniat besar untuk membuka usaha perlengkapan bulutangkis
Hari memiliki filosofi setiap usaha semuanya harus dimulai dari bawah. Dia pun memulai bisnis Flypower dengan pertama kali meluncurkan produk berupa sepatu bulutangkis. Untuk meluncurkan produk ini, dia bekerja sama dengan pemain PB Djarum dan atlet Pelatnas Cipayung.
Sebelum produk sepatu diluncurkan, dilakukan uji coba secara langsung oleh juara All England 1993 dan 1994, serta Juara Dunia 1995 di Lausanne, Swiss, tersebut. Hasil uji coba tersebut kemudian dikonsultasikan agar kelak bisa dihasilkan sebuah produk yang nyaman dan layak dipakai semua orang yang ingin sukses di arena bulutangkis.
Produk awal berupa sepatu itu ternyata mendapat sambutan positif. Mulai dari pemain hingga para anggota komunitas bulutangkis nasional tertarik dengan produk baru ini. Hari pun makin bersemangat untuk terus mengembangkan bisnis yang dibangunnya tersebut.
Selain sepatu, dia pun kemudian meluncurkan produk-produk bermain bulutangkis lain seperti kaus, celana, raket, dan peralatan penunjang lainnya. Setiap meluncurkan produk terbaru, Flypower selalu mengikuti selera pasar dan trend.
Produk-produknya terus ditingkatkan performa dan kualitasnya. Mulai dari desain, model, material, dan kenyamanan yang semuanya untuk menunjang performa pemain beraksi di tengah lapangan.
Tidak hanya meningkatkan kualitas, Flypower juga mulai mengembangkan diri untuk terjun langsung berpartisipasi dalam memajukan prestasi bulutangkis di Tanah Air. Setelah sering kali ikut menjadi sponsor kejuaraan-kejuaraan lokal, Flypower kemudian berpartisipasi menjadi sponsor pendamping kejuaraan bulutangkis paling bergengsi di Tanah Air, yaitu Djarum Sirkuit Nasional pada 2011 dan 2012.
Selain itu, paling tidak saat ini ada tiga perkumpulan bulutangkis di Tanah Air yang didukung penuh Flypower. Mereka adalah pemain U-19 PB Djarum Kudus, Gunadharma Bandung, dan Semen Gresik, Jawa Timur. Kecuali itu, dua kali Flypower terlibat langsung dalam ikut mensponsori perhelatan Djarum Superliga 2009 dan 2013 di Surabaya. Bahkan, sang juara Djarum Superliga 2013, Musica Champion Kudus, juga didukung penuh Flypower.
Seperti bola salju, distribusi Flypower juga terus menggelinding dan berkembang. Selain di dalam negeri, saat ini produk-produk Flypower telah diterima pasar di mancanegara, seperti di Singapura, Filipina, Brunei Darussalam, Malaysia, Korea Selatan, India, Australia, Prancis, Jerman, Swiss, Belanda, hingga Amerika Serikat.
Ketika organisasi PP PBSI di bawah kepemimpinan Gita Wirjawan membuka peluang hadirnya sponsor individual bagi para pemain Pelatnas Cipayung, Flypower pun ikut tergerak dengan mengontrak 19 pemain timnas. Di antaranya adalah Angga Pratama/Rian Agung Saputro. Dengan kontrak individual, diharapkan para pemain bisa makin berkembang dan meningkatkan prestasi di level internasional.
Flypower memiliki impian besar. Yaitu agar bisa terus berkembang dan meramaikan pangsa bulutangkis internasional.

Everything comes from the ground. These words is similar to the birth process of Flypower. In early 2002, Fung Permadi and Hariyanto Arbi, who had resigned from the Cipayung’s National Training Center, had a strong desire to open a badminton kit business.
Hariyanto Arbi has a philosophy that every business must start from the bottom. He started his business with the name “Flypower” for the first time. The first product is badminton shoes. In order to launch the product, he teamed up with PB Djarum’s players and Cipayung’s National Athletes.
Before shoes were launched, trials were conducted directly by the All England champion in 1993 and 1994, and also the 1995 World Champion in Lausanne, Switzerland. The result of the test were consulted so one day it would be possible to produce a product that comfortable and appropriate for those who wanted to succeed in the badminton arena.
Our first product, shoes, was received a positive response. Starting from the players until the members of national badminton community interested with this product. Hariyanto Arbi gained his spirit to keep developing his business that he had built.
Besides shoes, we launched other products such as t-shirts, pants, rackets, and other badminton equipment. With each new products launched, Flypower has been known to cater to market’s tastes and trends.
We always improving our performance and qualities. Starting from the designs, models, materials, dan comfort, to support the players performance in the field.
Not only improving the qualities, Flypower also begin to develop itself to participate directly in the furtherance of badminton achievements in Indonesia. After being sponsors of many local championships, later on Flypower participates in becoming the nation’s most prestigious badminton championship co-sponsor which is Djarum Sirkuit Nasional in 2011 and 2012.
tIn addition, today there are 3 badminton groups in Indonesia that are fully supported by Flypower. There are players under 19 of PB Djarum Kudus, Gunadharma Bandung, and Semen Gresik in East Java. Besides that, Flypower was directly involved in sponsoring Djarum Superliga in Surabaya for 2 times in 2009 and 2013. Yet, the winner of Djarum Superliga 2013, Musica Champion Kudus also full supported by Flypower.
Just like a snowball, the distribution of Flypower also keeps rolling and growing. Nowadays, Flypower has been accepted globaly such as in Singapore, Philippines, Brunei Darussalam, Malaysia, South Korea, India, Australia, France, Germany, Netherlands, to the United States.
When the PP PBSI’s leadership under Gita Wirjawan opened up opportunities for individual sponsors for the national athletes in Cipayung’s National Training Center, Flypower was prompted by the signing of 19 national athletes. For example, they are Angga Pratama/Rian Agung Saputro. With the individual contracts, we are hope that the players can expand and enhance their achivements at an international level.
Flypower has a big dream to be able to keep expand and enrich the international badminton market.
