Sustainability

Our commitment to sustainability extends to our sourcing practices. We prioritise local Venetian suppliers for most of our raw materials, including carbon fibre, resin, paints, merchandising and marketing print requirements. Connecting close to home not only supports our local economy but also reduces our carbon footprint. 

During the course of building a frame, there is naturally a small amount of leftover material. However, 90% of this material is reused for other frames, for the areas where hand-wrapping of fibre is required to create a customer’s bespoke frame composition. And soon, even the small amount of material that we cannot reuse will go to a local business that specialises in returning pre-preg fibres to their raw state. 

We believe repairing rather than retiring a bicycle is the simplest and most effective route to organic sustainability. Our fibre-to-finish in-house manufacturing capabilities allow us to quickly and cleanly repair accidental frame damage to get you back on the road in record time. However, we don’t just repair our frames: we’re happy to offer our carbon repair program to cyclists with frames from other brands, too.

One aspect of our business that doesn’t get much attention is our work with an ultra-light wheelchair brand, with whom we have worked for the past ten years. It may come as a surprise, but composite wheelchairs have much in common with advanced bicycles: both categories demand lightweight, agile, stiff and long-lasting products. We are incredibly proud and privileged to be able to use our experience and facilities to help wheelchair users experience cutting-edge innovation and greater mobility.
