Technology
Vauhti’s strategic objective is to become one of the leading ski wax technology companies. This demands a lot from both the personnel and the technical infrastructure. Modern equipment and technology guarantee the high quality of Vauhti’s products. Vauhti’s glide and grip waxes are manufactured in an automated process, with optimized production parameters for each wax.
Waxes are made using an automated procedure, with each product having its own optimized production
parameters. Automated systems monitor the manufacturing processes and casting temperatures of each product at a precision of one-tenth of a unit. The casting itself is managed by an automatic production robot.
Liquid products are made in four fully closed digitally controlled production reactors, from which they are taken to an adaptive bottling line to be bottled in their dedicated product bottles.
