CAPiTA Snowboards are handcrafted in Austria with self-generated clean energy at The MotherShip™. By investing extensively in advanced production technology, our primary objective is to manufacture the most premium products with unparalleled performance consistency.
A one-of-a-kind marvel in snowboard production, The MotherShip™ is the most technologically advanced and environmentally responsible manufacturing facility in the industry.
As the industry's first clean energy manufacturing facility, The MotherShip™ — distinguished as a flagship of responsible manufacturing — was awarded Energy Globe Award for Austria.
We generate the power for CAPiTA production processes via anon-site hydro-activated NH3 Thermal Energy System in concert with our newly expanded solar panel array.
As industry leaders, we hold ourselves accountable to continue to invest in the evolution of responsible production processes to preserve the winters we love so much.
Reduced Carbon FootprintNestled in the beauty of the Alps, in a valley in the southern border region of Austria, there is no other snowboard manufacturing facility like The MotherShip™ and no other snowboard company in the world with a home base like CAPiTA.
How We Produce
In addition to investing in clean energy, the crew at The Mothership is committed to constantly challenging ourselves to discover innovative methods for responsible production. We strive to incorporate safer, more sustainable, and recyclable materials into our construction processes.
In our production line, we have implemented advanced processes that enable us to press boards at lower temperatures and with reduced cycle times. As a result, we consume less energy to operate production at The Mothership compared to standard snowboard factories. This commitment to energy efficiency aligns with our goal ofminimizing environmental impact while maintaining high-quality snowboard manufacturing.
Furthermore, our low temperature pressing rooms employ plant-based bio resins with FSC certified wood cores, including hybrid cores with post-consumer recycled Thermopolymer additives. We also use water-based, UV-curable, and solventless inks for printing and zero toxic lacquer for topsheet application.
At The Mothership, we are continuously striving to enhance our recycling capabilities while delivering the world's best snowboards with minimal waste.
Currently,we are capable of recycling all production scraps, including base materials, tip and tail trimmings, sidewall ABS materials, protection film, and wood core milling room waste. Additionally, we have implemented the use of 100% recyclable shrink wrap film on our boards during finishing.
By investing extensively in advanced production technology, our primary objective is to manufacture the most premium products with unparalleled performance consistency.
