We caught wind of this around the shop recently, but the announcement has been made that the Elan Snowboard Factory in Austria has closed it’s doors. Response from a number of brands has been surprisingly positive and optimistic, including Rome’s Sales Manager Dan Sullivan who stated, “We’re confident they can meet our production numbers just fine” when asked about moving production to the GST factory. This should cause an interesting shift in the industry, so be sure to follow the link to Transworld Business for the full story and to hear what many people in the industry have to say:
