TechnoAlpin and Innovag venture forth together

TechnoAlpin and Innovag AG have been venturing forth together since the beginning of the year. While TechnoAlpin specializes in turnkey snow-making systems for outdoors, Innovag is the equivalent for indoor systems.

Alpine ski slopes, cross-country ski runs, ski jump approach ramps, toboggan runs, ski routes - all areas in which TechnoAlpin has been at home for over 20 years. By contrast, Innovag AG develops snow generation solutions for indoor winter sports and leisure activities, for spa facilities and health resorts, as well as for industrial test purposes, such as test stands for brakes and engines, and climatic wind tunnels. The entire range of applications of snow-making technology can be covered by the pooled expertise of both companies.

"I am convinced that both companies stand to benefit from working together. Both have a central focus on research and development. So there is definite scope to exploit synergies. We can reap the mutual benefit of each other's know-how", said TechnoAlpin Managing Director Erich Gummerer. He also pointed out that some of the product components are very similar, therefore there is great potential for synergy in the production systems. "We are looking forward to new challenges and opportunities. The friendship between our companies goes back a long way. Coming together under one roof at TechnoAlpin is therefore a logical progression of this association", continued Gummerer.

Innovag AG will remain an independent company and will retain its head office in Pasenbach in Bavaria (GER). The headquarters of TechnoAlpin Deutschland GmbH are not far away but the cooperation between Innovag and TechnoAlpin will not only be concentrated on Germany. The companies are both engaged in worldwide operations and in this way they can guarantee customers even more local availability thanks to an efficient sales and distribution network.
