Forged Carbon Production
Forged Carbon has always been produced inhouse, because during it's inception, there were no outside vendors capable of offering help. So Union purchased a used forging press, and by trial and error, figured out how to apply it to binding parts. That was years ago, and with recent investment into our all new forging press (specifically built for Forged Carbon production), we are exicted to show the world the next generation of this futuristic material.

Behind the Tech
Forged Carbon is a technology developed specifically for engineering complex three-dimensional geometries that need to resist stresses of variable geometries that need to resist stresses of variabletype, direction, and magnitude. When we started this project, I was shocked bythe intensity of the loads to which professional riders like Travis and Gigi subject these bindings. - PAOLO FERABOLI
