PRODUCTION

Our core competence and therefore our unique selling point is the production of the patented A.L.D.-tech.® semi-finished fiber products that surround the wood core. They provide the edge effects that make a snowboard a silbaerg. And so that it works in absolute perfection, we produce it by hand in Chemnitz with a lot of dedication and precision.

The final production of our snowboards takes place with no less attention to detail either in our factory in Chemnitz or at a premium snowboard manufacturer in Austria. This combination ensures that our high quality standards are met. Because the last thing we want is to produce in low-wage countries for producers with no passion for our sport, but with low social standards. Compliance with environmental and labor law standards is also important to us; we currently only find these aspects regionally. In addition to product quality, the CO2 balance in production also plays a crucial role for us, which is why we regularly analyze our products and processes using life cycle assessment methods.

The most efficient use of resources along the entire value chain is very important to us. Our regional production and the relatively short transport routes in Germany and Austria reflect this. But at the same time we are working to further reduce the impact on the environment. Together with the Chemnitz University of Technology, we are researching new ways to create a sustainable snowboard concept. We were able to achieve initial results with dry fiber placement technology. With their use, we are able to reduce carbon fiber waste by up to 94%.
