Swix is a Norwegian company founded in 1946, specializing in winter sports equipment and technical sportswear. Originally known for pioneering modern ski wax with a scientific approach, Swix has expanded its product range to include ski poles, sportswear, and other winter sports gear. The company is headquartered in Lillehammer, Norway, and is owned by the investment company Ferd AS. Swix has a strong presence in the skiing industry, offering products for both professional athletes and recreational users.
Since 2013, Swix has been actively involved in research projects aimed at phasing out PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) across the industry. They have already eliminated fluoro from all ski wax they produce and have set a goal to remove all fluorocarbons from their clothing line by 2025. This transition reflects their dedication to maintaining high-performance standards in wind and waterproof resistant textiles without compromising environmental safety.
