A long tradition in ski sports
Founded in 1922, Holmenkol is the oldest ski wax brand in the world. The manufacturer convinces with its expertise and high standards for materials. According to the manufacturer, only products that have been developed according to the latest knowledge, tested under the most demanding conditions and produced under the most modern conditions deserve the "license to win" seal.
Today, the product range includes ski waxes as well as cleaning and care products. Holmenkol ensures short delivery routes and therefore produces in Münster/ North Rhine-Westphalia. The manufacturer thus supplies products of the highest quality and maximum functionality - "Made in Germany".

Eco-certified - The Natural Ski Wax Bar
Holmenkol is the world's first eco-certified ski wax supplier. The Natural Ski Wax Bar is not only known for its uncomplicated and quick application, but also for its environmental friendliness. The Nordic SWAN Eco Label is a renowned Scandinavian certificate awarded to products that have a particularly low impact on the environment during the manufacturing process. Among other things, certified products must consist of at least 90% renewable raw materials.

Sustainability beyond production
All products in Holmenkol's Natural Ski Wax series are biodegradable in accordance with OECD 301. After 28 days, over 60 percent of the ingredients have already been degraded. For Holmenkol, however, the issue of sustainability does not end with the ingredients of the products. Care is also taken to ensure that the packaging can be disposed of via the yellow bag. Step by step, the German ski wax manufacturer is trying to use recyclates, i.e. plastics that have been recycled at least once during the journey. In addition, the use of green electricity and the in-house photovoltaic system ensure low energy consumption.
For Holmenkol, sustainability is a task that derives from the company's identity. According to the motto "We live outdoors, we love outdoors, we are outdoors", the manufacturer tries to protect nature as much as possible. The brand intends to continue along this path in the future.
