Our mission:

  A - To build paragliding wings of the highest quality, combining good performance with durability.

  B - To offer accessible prices which enable the largest number of pilots to purchase their own flying equipment.

  C - To give outstanding after-sales service.

A - the highest quality

We build our wings with the best materials on the market:

• Porcher Sport fabric – produced by the number 1 fabric supplier in the paragliding industry.
• Lines by Edelrid – who sets the standard in the sector.
• Riser webbing by Güth & Wolf, Germany, and Cousin, France.
• Stainless steel maillons by Peguet, France.
• Sewing thread by Amman, Germany.

Our production methods are top notch:

• Fabric components are cut out by laser. This is slower than mechanical cutting, but results in much better accuracy.
• Assembly with double needle stitching – this makes the wings easy to repair.
• Robot controlled sewing of line attachment points.
• Each wing is tested by ground handling, as well as laser testing of line lengths.

B – Accessible prices – How are Trekking wings so affordable?

• By using production techniques which minimise wastage of materials and rationalise assembly:

-          Laser CNC cutting reduces fabric wastage by 15%. Fabric costs make up 45% of the cost of a wing. The laser cut pieces are more accurate, which in turn makes assembly easier and faster.

-          Double needle sewing is strong, quick, and precise.

-          Robot controlled sewing saves time and produces a more consistent result.

• European sourcing and production reduces transport costs by around 50% - this represents around 10% of the cost of a wing. The advantages are both economic and environmental.
• We maintain a lean supply chain – avoiding middle-men and excess stock. That keeps mark-ups and finance costs low, resulting in a price that is both attractive for the pilot and sustainable for the producer. That is why we choose to sell our wings directly via our website.
