They made huge profit when their products were bought by US government to train the pilots for Second World War. After the war Nissen travelled to Europe and Soviet Union to promote his products. Nissen also set up a small company in Essex, England in 1956 where trampolines were manufactured for many years. Since then his only wish was for trampolines to be part of Olympic Games.
