Company history.
October 2020
Origin of the business idea
The coronavirus pandemic had a significant impact on the health and fitness sector in 2020 and 2021. Due to restrictions and safety precautions to contain the pandemic, people were only able to train in their own home gyms. Various problems encountered when training with conventional star collars led to the idea of developing an optimized collar for threaded barbell bars. This marked the birth of the 2M Easy Click, which is set to completely replace conventional star collars over time.

First prototype
A significant step in the company's development was the production of the first prototype using the FDM 3D printing process. This manufacturing technology enabled us to implement initial product ideas quickly and cost-effectively and to incorporate new findings from testing directly into development. This laid the foundation for successful development work.

Patent application
With the registration of the patent in 2021 at the German Patent and Trademark Office, we have reached another milestone in technological development. Since then, this protected innovation has formed the basis for an important part of our product portfolio and underlines our commitment to technical excellence and the sustainable protection of our developments.

Patent grant
One year after application, the patent was successfully granted by the German Patent and Trademark Office. The protected technical development not only confirms our innovative strength, but also represents an important strategic advantage. The patent secures Easy Click in the long term and strengthens the solution's unique position in the market.

Manufacture of the injection molding tool
After successfully completing the development phase and extensive testing with 3D-printed prototypes, the injection molding tool was manufactured in 2022. This step marked the transition to series production and laid the foundation for the scalable manufacture of the Easy Click.
June 2022
Start of production
Following the successful manufacture of the injection molding tool and an intensive testing and optimization phase, series production of the first Easy Clicks ready for sale began. With the official start of production, we have reached a significant milestone: the solutions developed are now ready for the market—the result of extensive development work and technical precision.
