About NOVA
Driven by the idea of creating better wings, we founded NOVA in 1989. The company quick-
ly grew into a significant manufacturer.
We rapidly consolidated and expanded our market position.
Our headquarters are in Terfens, near Innsbruck. Thanks to this location we are 20 minutes
from our local flying site, the Rofan. Due to its proximity to lake Achensee, it is ideal for glid-
er testing. Alternatively, the Zillertal, the Stubaital or the southern Alps are close by.
As a paragliding manufacturer, being close to mountains is essential.
Firstly we need appropriate terrain for good development work.
Secondly, we need to have our finger on the pulse and need to be closely connected to our
customers. In Tyrol and the surrounding areas paragliding is more than a sport. This positive
attitude translates into our products, which assists us to keep making better paragliders.
NOVA has a highly qualified staff team, nearly all of whom share the same passion for flight
as the pilots who choose to fly NOVA wings. This passion and our know-how are the drivers
of our innovation. The starting point of our mission is to build paragliders which are safe and
simultaneously high performance. Performance and safety, or rather
the correct ratio between the two, make for lots of flying fun – and that is what it is all about!
Quality
When discussing quality in paragliding, often the focus is on externally visible issues:
seams, fabric or symmetry. These are all important indicators for us too, but at NOVA we
feel the term quality encompasses more. Quality means a cycle of processes which begins
with the right idea and ends in comprehensive customer service. In between lies responsible
development and testing; serial production with routine inspection and a network of respon-
sible dealers and approved service centres.
