  • glass fibre composite panels for durable, creatively designed climbing walls that withstand impact and environmental conditions. (fig. 1)
  • Macros are made from glass fibre composite mats and polyester resin. (fig.2)
  • Cutting-edge fibres such as carbon and aramid introduced in the production of holds, mainly for aesthetic purposes. (fig.3)
