YEAR TWELVE:
When you look at the reasons Union has
been on such a tremendous run over the
past decade—the engineering precision,
durability and progressive innovations that
have put Union on the leading edge of the
binding progression — there’s a common
thread. Focusing solely on building superior
bindings has given way to the premium riding
experience Union owners endorse and stay
loyal to.
Nowhere is our commitment to product
progression and value better expressed
than in the all-new 16/17 Contact and Milan.
Completely new designs from top to bottom,
these models represent our focus and
dedication throughout every price point in
our quest to supply snowboarders the best
bindings to ever hit the snow.
Value also applies to high-end “difference
making” models like the much sought after
Ultra FC and Legacy models. We have
created and applied new technologies that
cost hundreds of thousands of Euros on
a high performance sports car, and have
applied it to the snowboard market. Forged
Carbon and Duraflex have earned and proven
their relevance in snowboarding and beyond.
Focus and dedication - The “Stronger”
motto not only stands for our product –
it represents all facets of the company.
From product, to delivery, sales &
customer service… From the best team in
snowboarding, to the amazing friendships
and genuine approach to doing business…
Welcome to Year Twelve of the Union Binding
Company.

THE MINDSET:
100%
FOCUS
Free from the distraction of developing a bazillion different products for
snowboarding, camping, and whatever else... Union focuses solely on
building better bindings for snowboarding.
EXPERTISE
THE LONG HAUL
Unlike all major competitors, Union pours
100% of it's focus and effort exclusively on
snowboard bindings. We live, eat and breathe
it.
Union has long been regarded as the most
durable binding on the market, and the reason
is simple - We use the absolute best materials
for every component, with zero outsourcing.
THE FUTURE
DESIGN EFFICIENCY
Here at Union we pride ourselves on
introducing cutting edge materials and
manufacturing processes. We look to the
future and strive to stay ahead of the curve.
From highly efficient manufacturing
processes, to user friendly adjustment and
fit - a straightforward, yet concise approach
encompasses everything Union.
REAL PEOPLE
MANUFACTURING
Void of any suits, weird investor dudes or
corporate overlords, Union is 100% owned
and operated by real people who actually
snowboard.
Union is the only conventional binding supplier
who owns and operates it's own production
facility. Controlling the supply chain assures a
superior product from start to finish.
ATHLETES
THE BOX
With the most stacked roster in snowboarding
today, the Union team is a testament to the
durability and performance of our bindings.
Union Team movie currently in progress.
From engineering, to R&D, to production,
assembly, packaging and shipping - all things
UNION are located on one block, conveniently
located 40 minutes from the nearest gondola.

THE MINDSET:
MATERIALS
MATTER
A binding is only as adequate as the sum of all it's parts. That's why since day one, Union has been on a
constant quest to develop and introduce cutting-edge materials and processes. Pioneering new levels of
durability and performance through the years has resulted in exceptional sell through and near zero warranty,
year after year. We give snowboarders what they want, and back it up 365 days a year.
FORGED CARBON
MAGNESIUM
Lighter and stronger than titanium, Forged Carbon allows
us to create 3D binding components that are traditionally
limited to plastic injection. Forged Carbon is the future of
high-end, performance-based products.
Union was the first to introduce Injected Magnesium to the
snowboard market twelve years ago, and remains the only
binding producer offering it. This expensive process delivers
a material four times the strength of aluminum with only
1/2 the weight. Considering how durable Union buckles are,
they are worth their weight in gold.
PROCESS
Our forging process makes it possible to form complex
shapes in a single piece, without any wasted material.
Compared to traditional, laminated carbon, Forged Carbon
fibers aren’t oriented in any particular direction, which
produces a much stronger finished product that can take on
great impact from any direction.

Vaporlite is the evolution of closed cell foam often featured

material maintains it's superior dampening characteristics in
cold temperatures, providing a ride that can't be matched.
LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY
(IN BENDING PER UNIT MASS)
CARBON: EXPANDED
Developed at the LamboLab, and produced inhouse at
Union HQ, we have incorporated Forged Carbon into even
more of the collection. From the all new Integrated Forged
Bushing System on the Ultra FC, to all new Forged Hybrid
Highbacks on the Travis Rice, our top end bindings are as
tech as it gets. Ride a pair and be blown away.
