CAPiTA SUPER CORPORATION ASSUMES CONTROL
OF THE ELAN SNOWBOARD FACTORY
For Immediate Release:
Seattle, Washington – May 16, 2013 – CAPiTA announced today it has assumed
control of the Elan snowboard factory in Furnitz, Austria. CAPiTA will continue to
produce snowboards at the renowned Austrian factory under its own management
utilizing the technology, expertise and talents that made it one of the premier snowboard
manufacturing facilities in the world over the last twenty five years.
At an April 12, 2013 insolvency hearing, the CAPiTA ownership group filing under the
Austrian name C4future GmbH was granted legal right to assume control of the factory.
Facility control was obtained April 15 and the entire factory is again operational
producing CAPiTA snowboards at this time.
Former Elan Austria CEO and Technical Director Michael Kollman brings eighteen years
of manufacturing experience at the facility to the CAPiTA team as Director of
Production. Fifty highly skilled factory operatives have also been retained.
CAPiTA President Blue Montgomery commented, “This is a milestone in regard to our
long held vision of vertical integration and production control. Our first commitment is
ensuring our ability to deliver our 2013/14 line, consistent with our samples and on
schedule, with the high quality standards that people expect of our snowboards. We’ve
produced at this factory for ten years. We know the facility, technology and team very
well and we’re sure of our ability to deliver our best lineup of boards to date.”
