Sustainability in SportsThe evolution from artificial, man-made materials to natural fibers and recycled materials is a growing trend, in every industry. From industrial goods to consumer products, from aviation, automotive, construction to fashion, interior design and sports.
Introducing CORQE®, a natural sports company. Producers of high-performance, premium sports products using natural, sustainable fibers and recycled materials. Our material of choice is cork, with its dynamic ability to transform into multiple shapes, making it the ideal alternative for product design. It reflects our company’s core value of sustainability and our continuous pursuit for alternative solutions.
Our name, CORQE, derives from the word cork (i.e. both pronounced the same). Cork is a natural substance, originating from the bark of the Mediterranean Cork Oak Tree, a 100% eco- friendly and renewable resource. - For more information, please visit www.CORQE.com.
In addition to cork, CORQE uses Cordura EcoMade fibers. Cordura is an industry leader, known for their premium quality, ultra-durable fabrics with superior strength. CORQE uses EcoMade as a reclaimed alternative to artificial nylon, made from 100% recycled materials, including plastic bottles.

Dirk Delfortrie, a seasoned PGA golf professional since 1993,
gained experience by working for various companies, including
the worlds largest golf manufacturer in Carlsbad, CA, the finest
golf resort in Scotland, and alongside the #1 teacher in the world.
Throughout his career, Dirk’s passion is evident in his coaching,
getting the most out of each student, by following their
progress, and being dedicated to their success. With that same
passion, Dirk started CORQE, to offer high- performance
products with a difference.
Joachim Delfortrie, an international business consultant,
has lived and worked in Europe, Brazil and USA. While traveling
the world, he noticed the abundance of disposable, toxic,
non-biodegradable sports products, with no alternative
solutions offered. As an environmentalist, sport lover and avid
golfer, Joachim saw an opportunity and started CORQE.
Now joined together in CORQE, Dirk and Joachim live and work in Portugal. Portugal, the cork country of the world!
