Voile Light Speed / STS Crampons

Since 1980
Voile equipment has been made in Utah from day one.
We started making telemark bindings right here
in Salt Lake City, in a small warehouse addition
in a grain district with the Wasatch Mountains
as a backdrop and R&D playground. In a highly
globalized manufacturing world, many companies outsource
outsourcing to foreign countries to take advantage of cheap labor.
Not us... 98% of Voile products are
made in the Salt Lake Valley, including splitboards, skis, tele bindings, and
the world-famous Voile straps.

Production
Keeping production local allows us to maintain
complete control over the manufacturing processes of our products.
This ensures quality of workmanship and performance.
It also allows us the flexibility to make changes on the fly and test prototypes of new designs right outside our
front door. We are gear geeks and tool lovers,
passionate about innovating and improving
to create an “even better” product. Backcountry gear, made in Utah by skiers for skiers
(or splitboarders, if that's your thing).

Environmental footprint
Keeping production at home helps reduce our global environmental
footprint. Sending production overseas
requires vast amounts of unnecessary energy; products are often sent back and forth between different manufacturing stages,
finally coming to the States and then
back to the country where they finally find their place.
It's a fossil fuel nightmare that we absolutely
avoid. We use raw materials from domestic production whenever possible
and keep all domestic production
within a few kilometers. Our production center also serves as our headquarters, retail store, service center and
showroom:
we use our resources sensibly instead of contributing to urban sprawl
in the countryside.

Community Karma
We love Utah, the Wasatch Mountains, and our community of backcountry enthusiasts.
Voile has a long history of supporting local
organizations such as
the Utah Avalanche Center,
the Wasatch Backcountry Alliance,
and other local non-profits and events.
We will continue to support the community
to the best of our ability. What goes around comes around you get back.
Also, Voile is a privately held company
with three owners who prioritize
making quality products
over their own bottom line.
The owners are local ski industry legends
who work day-to-day and may even be your
neighbors. As such,
they are deeply connected to our
backcountry community and
local outdoor industry.
