In case the following is not enough, I have more right from ESN...

It seems that Adidas Table Tennis rubber products are luckier. The rubber products of Adidas Table Tennis are commissioned by the German ESN company to produce. After years of publicity by many brands such as German Donic, Euler, Andu and Korean Jiaomeng, ESN has become a golden signboard for the performance of table tennis rubbers.
According to an interview with Ping Pang, Adidas Table Tennis, with its brand advantage, has been treated as a Class A customer of ESN, although it started cooperating with ESN much later than the previous brands. This also ensures that Adidas Table Tennis rubber products have certain competitive strength in terms of performance. Unfortunately, Adidas Table Tennis did not mention ESN in the promotion of its rubber products. "The German headquarters does not allow it!" A staff member of the marketing department of Adidas Table Tennis once replied to the Ping Pang reporter.
In the eyes of Adidas, unless it is a new technology developed by its own company, nothing else can be promoted, let alone "promotion" for OEM companies. Therefore, when all brands are trying their best to promote their own product "selling points", Adidas Table Tennis rubber products are pushed to the market with a "cold" attitude. In the absence of official promotion, even some contracted dealers did not know that this batch of rubbers with good performance were produced by ESN.
