Elan Snowboard Factory files for bankruptcy - Snowboarding Forum

Definately going to have to keep an eye on this situation. This factory produces quite a few brands and owns most of the technology these brands claim as their own.

Arbor, Rome, Capita, Battaleon, Lobster, Artec, Dinosaurs Will Die... and a few more are all made by these guys.

So nice of TWBiz to finally figure out this story I posted late last week.

Wonder if this will send Jones back to Nidecker?

BurtonAvenger · 03-19-2013, 06:29 PM

Jones is at GST same as Yes. The Nidecker factory has been sold and is only doing small OEM stuff but nothing substantial.

Just heard from our Rome connection that they had anticipated this and moved their molds to GST a few months ago.

I guess it's just better to build them yourselves??? (Mervin, NS, Smokin, Prior...) you get the idea...

Jones and yes are still Nidecker brands essentially, right? Even though manufactured by GST?

I thought Capita, Jones, Rome, and Bataleon/Lobster were already GST manufactured boards? We're GST and Elan both doing molds for the same companies?

No GST was not making their boards. Sure sign of that is no Structurn.

Also it's no longer Yes. By Nidecker.
