The History
Zpey is based on an initial dream of creating a fly rod that would help fly fishers cast better, using less power, resulting in less strain on their bodies. Arve Evensen from Norway spent 3 month on the factory in Korea to develope the first bent handle series in 2005.
After the very first prototype with the famous bent lower handle saw the light of day, we have all the time sought to come closer to this ambition, but at the same time, we have gradually increased our focus on all the other aspects of fly fishing: The design of fantastic rod actions, the design of new and better fly lines and the design of fly reels, leaders, running lines etc.
Zpey is currently known as one of the leading manufacturers of fly fishing equipment and we have several of the worlds leading fly fishers, fly casting instructors and fly casters on our Zpey Team. Our primary market is Scandinavia, but we are very active in several other European countries.
Beginning of 2017 Zpey moved its headquarter to salmon-land.
With the takeover of our new lodge at Skjern River, it was naturally for us to move our headquarters into the beautiful surroundings of salmon-country. From the 1st of April 2017 Zpey will have its headquarters on Ånumvej 160 in Lundnæs. Only a five minutes drive from Skjern.
The new location gives us a lot of free space. However, most importantly, it gives us a fantastic opportunity to get daily inspiration and test our new product ideas; right where everything is happening. At the same time we will be close to our customers at all times and listen to their challenges and wishes. Do we even need to tell you that that we would be very thrilled to get a visit from you at the lodge? (But before you come, you should check if we are home. We could be on the road - or at the river).
