[email protected] www.elan-inventa.si This year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of Elan. Conceived of by Rudi Finžgar in Slovenia in 1945, Elan has grown over the past seven decades from its beginnings as a small ski producing workshop into a specialty manufacturing company that is the pride of it’s homeland and is highly regarded around the world. Since its early days, Elan has been known as a pioneer of innovations that push the boundaries of expectation in its chosen fields. Today, the belief that the development of progressive design and advanced technologies provides the surest path to the creation of superior products remains our core principle. Our Begunje facility manufactures skis, snowboards, sailboats, and sports equipment, as well as wind turbines for the production of clean electrical energy. OUR SUCCESS IN RECENT LARGE PROJECTS HAS MADE US BELIEVE THAT WE CAN DO MUCH MORE Over the last decade, countless athletes, teams as well as individuals, have written their name down in history. Elan Inventa has been standing in the background of these achievements, silent but proud, watching athletes slam the ball through the rim or into the net and spectators jump on the grandstands, most of them oblivious of the company that has provided them with the equipment that has made it all possible. Recently, the company provided equipment for facilities hosting important sports events, including the World Women’s Handball Championships in Brasil in 2011 and Serbia in 2013, World Handball Championships in Spain in 2013 and Quatar in 2015 and the European Basketball Championships in Slovenia in 2014.
