ADVANCE - ALL AROUND THE WORLD SINCE 1988

Founded in 1988, ADVANCE has been designing, developing and
producing gliders and accessories that are distributed in more
than 45 countries. The company is firmly established on the world-
wide paragliding market. The success of the current range of gli-
ders has confirmed ADVANCE as the benchmark for quality, per-
formance and service.
Two major trends of the ADVANCE philosophy:
- to raise the level of performance of the wings while improving
passive security at the same time.
- to involve pilots and dealers in the design of the new wings,
at all stages.
The management team has not changed since ADVANCE was
founded, which may explain the stability of the company and the
loyalty shown by the customers : ROBERT GRAHAM (Design and
Development), ROLF ZELTNER (Administration and Production)
and VALÉRY CHAPUIS (Sales and Marketing). A strong team with
many years of experience, able to react quickly to the evolution of
the market and sport. The principal team is complemented by
international test pilots.

ADVANCE also meets success in competition, with numerous titles
including world champion, european champion and winner of the
World Cup, and also several world distance records.
The current range is particularly consistent and in tune with the
expectations of the market: with 5 models, there is surely some-
thing for everyone, from the beginner to the competition pilot:
ALPHA - EPSILON - SIGMA - OMEGA - BI BETA.
In addition ADVANCE offers a full range of harnesses.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND RECYCLING

The protection of the environment is a decisive consideration when
we develop, choose materials and produce a new ADVANCE pro-
duct. We exclusively use raw materials that stand up to these qua-
lities and use environmental friendly practises. Once your glider
has come to the end of its useful lifetime please be sure to sepa-
rate the metal parts from the lines, risers and canopy and dispose
of it with the environment in mind.
