Atomic was born in the Austrian Alps in 1955, and more than 60 years on we’re still here. Over the years our equipment has raced to the top of every ski podium, reached the peak of Everest, and taken on every type of skiing you could think of. We’ve helped skiers go higher in the half pipe, further in the backcountry, faster on piste and longer on the cross-country track. And the secret to our success? The know-how and passion of our employees and athletes. Skiing is an essential part of our lives. It’s in our blood. And every product we make is fueled by this passion for the sport we all love. Skiing doesn’t just shape how we design and deliver our products. It inspires and defines us. It always has and always will.

Karl Lenhart, an avid skier himself, was less than impressed by the quality and functionality of the ski poles of the time. Therefore, he used his own machine park to manufacture grips and baskets for skiing poles. These went into mass production in the 60s. On the other hand, Lenhart was familiar with aluminium and composite processing on account of his aircraft manufacturing experience. In 1970, he used these raw materials to produce his first ski poles to be sold under the LEKI brand, which stands for the owners and the company headquarters, i.e. Lenhart in Kirchheim. LEKI's products are developed and designed together in Kirchheim/Teck, Germany and Tachov, Czech Republic. Poles are manufactured following modern and environmentally friendly processes in LEKI's own production facility in the Czech Republic. Leki seeks to operate under one strategic mandate: To combine safety and comfort with attractive design. The permanent exchange with experts and professional athletes ensures a high experience value. In turn, this results in smart, well-designed products, which customers can consistently enjoy and rely upon for years. With over 250 patents, LEKI has introduced more innovations and filed more patents than any other manufacturer in the outdoors and ski industry. Today, LEKI Lenhart GmbH is broadly recognised as the absolute world leader in pole and glove systems thanks to the consistent implementation of this philosophy.

The first catalog for the ISPO sports fair in early 1980 marked the beginning of the Alpina brand. The innovative new collection was small, but the faith in success as well as the enthusiasm of the founders Rainer Winter, Werner Grau, Rolf Obermeier and Hagen Stockklausner were infinitely large. It's all down to our ultra-modern styles, colours and designs, plus of course the reliably high quality of ALPINA products, which is of crucial importance to performance at this high level. In fact, with ALPINA the athletes can even have a direct input into product functions and further development. We recognise the importance of being close to the customer and responding to their needs. The fact that short distances are involved helps to make this possible: ALPINA products are developed and manufactured at the company's own production sites in Germany as well and it is easy to get feedback from the athletes and incorporate it quickly into product development. A lot happened in all the years. The company has steadily grown. Alpina is now the market leader in ski, sports eyewear and helmets. In Germany, Alpina maintains market shares of more than 40%, sells its products in over 35 countries and has established two subsidiaries in Austria and Switzerland.

During his travels in the early ‘90s, Icebreaker founder Jeremy Moon had a revelation. Rather than focus on creating the latest and greatest technical fabric for his clothing, he discovered that such a fabric was already available and could be found on a breed of animal living in New Zealand’s Southern Alps - merino wool. Merino was soft to the touch, comfortable against his skin, and easy to care for. He realized it offered the quick-drying, lightweight benefits of synthetic materials, coupled with the natural warmth, breathability, and odor-resistance of standard wool.
Since 1994, Icebreaker has been crafting this versatile fabric into hard-working technical clothes as well as sophisticated, high-performance urban apparel. Starting with underwear and base layers and expanding to mid and outer layers, Icebreaker outfits you for optimal four-season comfort. Whether you’re dressing for snow sports, hiking and backpacking, travel, running and fitness, or simply everyday activities, Icebreaker provides premium product for your active pursuits.
