To make the best running bases is our only mission.
Like the car’s engine, the skis and snowboards running bases are its responsible components to move on snow. And the performance of gliding on snow is as well the fundament for having a good time while riding. Regardless its importance no real significant innovations were made since the last 50 years with running bases. As a reason of this it happened in the year 2002, that two young snow addicted buddies from Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany’s most famous winter sport resort, the snowboard world champion Xaver Hoffmann and the engineer Florian Felix, decided to improve winter sports quality by developing a new running base technology.
After 6 years of intense development in collaboration with world’s leading chemical companies like amongst others BASF, Degussa and Exxon as well as different institutes for material science the FX - SMARTBASE® - Technology was born.
At July 2007 the company FX- SmartBase GmbH was found in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, where its patented technology was developed over the last 6 years. Under its international registered trademark FX - SMARTBASE® the FX- SmartBase GmbH is committed to supply premium high tech running bases, which are solely manufactured in Germany.
