Hey John,

How is the best way to get in touch with you? Grayfusion is a product development company and I think we should talk….
Great article and you are right. Not much exsist on the subject of SB manufacturing but after reading this I am stoked about new directions!

Hey Jure… thanks for your comments. The video was produced as a promotion for the Snowboard Factory in Austria. Not as a promotional vehicle for the Elan Snowboard brand or the Mother Company. I have a strong feeling that you are not alone in your knowledge that the Elan Brand is managed out of Slovenia… I think that is fairly common knowledge within the industry. Therefore we saw no need to include it within the video. regards… john

I don’t like that fact that in the whole video you don’t mention once that Elan is actually a Slovene brand and that the original and mother factory is actually in Slovenia (way older then this one).
I dislike even more the fact that in the beginning of this video it is mentioned that Elan factory was founded in Klagenfurt in 1977…correction….Elan Austria factory!

As I know you guys merely produce the boards….everything else (design, product design,…) is done in Begunje, Slovenia.

Hey Nico, always love reading about the behind the scenes aspect of the industry. FYI: there’s a spelling error in the first paragraph. “but sometimes they tent to omit the fact”, tent should be tend.
