. Pre-production of prototypes The "Made in Germany" quality promise means Völkl skis must meet high standards. Living up to them requires years of development, including extensive testing and optimisation of prototypes. The use of recycled and residual materials, along with misprinted surface materials, reduces waste in this stage of production. To keep prototype production to a minimum - and reduce our use of resources - we also often simulate the design of a new ski only using a computer. We assess our production processes annually to identify opportunities for optimisation, thereby keeping waste to a minimum without compromising on quality.

Production Our main Völkl factory in Straubing is one of the world's most advanced ski production plants. The German location and "Made in Germany" quality promise allow us to directly control working conditions, contribute to regional value chains and support the EU economy. The energy management system at our factory in Straubing is certified according to DIN ISO 00000. In the interests of clean production, we have significantly reduced the use of poisonous and hazardous substances at Völkl, and we have completely eliminated them from many stages of production. For example, the hazardous substance dichloromethane (DCM) is no longer used in the production process. The recirculation of grinding water has allowed us to reduce water consumption by almost 00%. Recycled materials, such as steel edges and coatings, generally play an important role. Up to 00% of our skis are now made from recycled or sustainably produced materials.
