RSL supplies badminton shuttlecocks and equipment through a European distributor and other regional channels. Its European site says the manufacturer uses automated factories for consistent feather-shuttle production and reports sales of 66 million shuttlecocks a year; that volume is a company claim, not an independently audited current figure. RSL also says it sponsors international tournaments and players and assists badminton development programmes in some countries. The cited page does not name a current tournament or player contract, so no specific ongoing sponsorship is claimed here.
