High-performance in vibrant green
The Austrian pole producer Komperdell creates ski poles so iconic and high‑performance that even Austria’s top ski stars rely on them — and one detail stands out immediately: their unmistakable neon green. Behind this striking look is a specialized functional coating designed to deliver both visual impact and technical excellence. What began as a signature colour for the Austrian national team has since become a bestseller in sporting goods stores.
Komperdell increasingly relies on lightweight carbon poles, which make up more than half of its product range. This requires coatings with excellent adhesion, fast drying, and high surface tolerance, since the poles are coated in raw condition on a high‑rotation disc. The KANSAI HELIOS coating system provides a smooth, durable surface suitable for printing and clear‑coating. The challenge was to achieve UV stability and strong adhesion on carbon so the formulation has been refined to ensure long‑lasting colour intensity and weather resistance.
The long‑standing partnership between Komperdell and KANSAI HELIOS is built on technical expertise, flexibility, and tailored solutions for professional athletes.
