Having finished our fencing career and started selling fencing equipment in the late 80s, we just tried to work, to work hard, as honestly and openly as possible. Hard and laborious long-term work already by the second half of the 90s began to bear fruit and allowed us to see and “sketch” the prospects of development of our company and our commercial activity. Starting from the middle and till the end of the 1990s we created from scratch subdivisions of full closed cycles for the production of fencing blades, specialized fabrics for fencing, fencing suits and electric jackets, electrical equipment, organized the project “Wireless System for fixation of shots/strokes for fencing”. And then... Then we proved and convinced the whole fencing world that our products, our service and services are not only not worse, but better than the European ones. That was the time of countless business trips, negotiations, meetings, sleepless nights, and... again business trips, meetings, negotiations. Some people did not take SтM seriously, some ignored it, some deliberately “put sticks in our wheels” and did outright nasty things, but many people helped, advised and encouraged us. There was a lot of everything - both bad and good. We went through it all, - we hardened, strengthened - and became what we became. Most importantly, we proved to the whole world that StM is quality, SтM is reliable, SтM is professionalism, SтM is strength!
