The Box exists by reinvestment into the Union brand, cutting out all middlemen and focusing solely on offering the best product possible across the board. Union is THE only conventional binding supplier who owns and operates its own production facility. A dedicated collective of binding designers, production experts and passionate snowboarders - the group at the Box can design, build and test prototypes all within an 8-hour work day.
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.
Our in-house Multi-Jet Fusion technology allows for fast, rideable prototyping and even short-run production bindings. Design, Test, Ride, Repeat.
Union Headquarters is located a quick 45 minute drive from the closest gondola. Living and working in the heart of the Italian Alps gives us the opportunity to test in the morning, be back in the office by lunch, adjust / modify designs by the end of the day.
Instant edge-to-edge response and stable board connection. The Union All-Mountain Series of bindings deliver a performance advantage in all conditions and terrain. Universal Disks and unyielding bombproof design will be found here.

The Union Freestyle Series bindings are designed for riders looking for the ultimate in freedom, comfort and that “loose truck” feel. Minimal binding-to-board contact is a concept pioneered by Union from day one, and the Freestyle Series showcases the benefits.

Redesigned and retooled, the Expedition series continues to evolve and advance. Focused on the actual “snowboarding” part of splitboarding, the Expedition has quickly gained traction with riders who value ride ability and natural board feel.

Smaller and softer versions of what the pros ride, the Youth Series retain key fundamentals that put Union on the map. They are also the most adjustable kid's bindings on the market.
