Since 2018, ANAVON has been developing and manufacturing handmade quality products for ski enthusiasts in 20 colors and endless color combinations in Disentis, Graubünden. The company relies heavily on the Kaizen principle, continuously developing its range of skis and using selected, top-quality materials - such as high-quality Swiss ash wood.
In addition to manufacturing its own skis, ANAVON also acts as an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) for third parties and supplies them with high-quality, handcrafted skis - 100% Swiss Made.
ANAVON recently obtained a license from BOGNER, Munich, for the manufacture of all Bogner skis and the worldwide distribution of all winter sports items such as helmets, goggles, poles and ski bags.
The successful establishment of ANAVON and its future growth require additional financial resources. So far, Anavon has been able to count on the support of various individuals and companies. By taking the step of crowd-investing, these and other small investors are given the opportunity to participate in the company, even with smaller investments. Crowdinvesting aims on the one hand to provide liquidity for the development and expansion of the company's activities and on the other hand to ensure unlimited skiing pleasure with high quality products of Swiss quality.
