INNOVATIVE PRESS SYSTEMS FOR THE SPORTS INDUSTRY

Winners rely on technology from Langzauner – for decades. More than 40 years ago, the sports industry was the first industry to recognize and make use of the enormous potential of fiber-reinforced plastics. Even then, Langzauner was part of it. Back in the 70s, presses were developed and produced for the ski industry.

Today, all renowned ski manufacturers work on our composite presses. After all, hardly any other press producer has so much experience in this field. Alpine skis are made with our machines as well as jumping skis. Langzauner presses are also used successfully in snowboard production.

FAQ

Not only. Although many top athletes use skis and boards produced on such systems, products for the mass market are also manufactured — from racing skis to all-round rental boards.

Yes. Depending on the discipline, different lengths, profiles, and camber curves are required. Press systems and tools are designed so that these differences can be represented — from very long jumping skis to performance-oriented cross-country models.

Yes, especially for medium and large production volumes. Automated handling systems, heating and cooling processes, and data recording help manufacture serial products in consistent quality — important for brands that sell worldwide.

Several layers — for example the core, glass or carbon layers, base, and top sheet — are built up in the tool. In the press, they are consolidated under pressure and temperature, creating a ski with a defined flex curve, camber, and geometry.

Snowboards require different geometries than skis, such as wider shapes and special rocker profiles. Dedicated tools and suitable press parameters make it possible to produce boards with precisely the desired riding characteristics.
