ADVANCE - All around the world since 1988
Founded in 1988, ADVANCE has been designing, developing and
producing gliders and accessories that are distributed in more than
45 countries. The company is firmly established on the worldwide
paragliding market. The success of the actual range of gliders has
confirmed ADVANCE as the bench mark for quality, performance
and service.
Two major design strategy have evolved from the current paragli-
ding trend :
to raise the level of performance of the wings while improving
passive security at the same time.
to involve pilots and dealers in the design of the new wings, at all
stages.
The management team has not changed since ADVANCE was foun-
ded, which may explain the stability of the company and the trust
shown by its customers : ROBERT GRAHAM (Design and Develop-
ment), ROLF ZELTNER (Administration and Production) and VALÉRY
CHAPUIS (Sales and Marketing). A strong team with many years of
experience, able to react quickly to the evolution of the market and
sport. The main team is complemented by international test pilots.
ADVANCE is also no stranger to success in competition, with nume-
rous titles including those of world champion, european champion and
winner of the World Cup, not forgetting several world distance records.
