Elan (company)

Elan is a world-famous Slovenian company, specializing in the production of sporting goods. It is best known for its skis and snowboards. Other products include sailboats from 30 to 50 ft length, motor yachts, apparel (mostly sportswear), equipment for sports facilities. The brand-name became better known in the 1970s, when Swedish skiing ace Ingemar Stenmark won three consecutive Alpine skiing World Cups on Elan skis. Two decades later this company changed the ski industry by marketing the shaped or parabolic ski.
