CAPITA Promotes Environmentally Friendly Production in Austria

With the Mothership, CAPiTA started a new chapter of snowboard production with the opening of “The Mothership”. The new 5000 m² factory “The Mothership” is located on 28.000 m² in Feistritz a.d. Gail, Austria and doesn’t just score with its great design, the facility has a lot more to offer. CAPiTA is focused on responsible manufacturing and builds upon environmentally friendly production with its new factory.

The new factory is a zero CO2 emission, 100 percent hydro powered factory – fueled by a new hydropower station built in cooperation with the local community. New technologies allow a reduced energy and environmentally friendly production due to sustainable power sources and reduced process temperatures. The new facility includes all departments of production and contains a 1.2 km long testing slope on-site for research and development purposes.

MADE IN AUSTRIA is top priority for CAPiTA. For this reason the new location includes all departments of production and on top a 1.2 km long test slope next to the mothership, which is good for research and development. We feel very confident of this company philosophy and we have the latest snowboards directly from the new factory in stock at our Blue Tomato Shop Villach and at our other Blue Tomato Shops in Germany and Austria.

Not only the Capita Motherships stands for environmental awareness. Capita pays attention to sustainability by their used materials.

All of their RFC SUSTAINABLE wood cores are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. These cores come from managed forests that are certified for protection of biodiversity and wildlife habitat; sustainable harvest levels; protection of water quality; and prompt regeneration

Also by the manufacture of the resins capita looks for as much as possible eco-friendly producing.
The resin system has a bio-content of 60% renewable, agricultural raw materials. It is plant based that does not compete with primary food sources and is produced with no waste or greenhouse emissions.
