The production of andcraft snowboards

The PLP staff is 100% snowboarders and technical developments are improved by professional freeriders and freestylers.
All snowboards are computer-designed with CAD-CAM systems and are handmade in Italy, using the best materials.
The slabs, sheets and sides, are produced by the most renowned companies in the sector.
Using numerical control machines, precision and quality are guaranteed in every single piece: snowboards are assembled by hand inside our
moulds according to the schemes of the classic and robust Sandwich construction.

Regardless of the production time, the moulding takes place in the ideal times and temperatures for the best catalysis of the resins, thus avoiding the excessive heating of the materials, both in the stamping phase and in the finishing phase.
