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 bet-
ween the two, make
for lots of flying fun
– and that is what it
is all about!

About NOVA
Driven by the idea of creating better wings, we founded NOVA in
1989. The company quickly grew into a significant manufacturer.
We rapidly consolidated and expanded our market position.
Our headquarters are in Terfens, near Innsbruck. Thanks to this loca-
tion we are 20 minutes from our local flying site, the Rofan. Due to its
proximity to lake Achensee, it is ideal for glider 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 consists of a highly qualified team,where almost all employees
share the passion of flying. This passion and our know-how are the
drivers of our innovation. For example, it lead us to being pioneers in
the area of flow simulation, where we can reasonably accurately pre-
dict many of the characteristics of a new wing design on a computer.
NOVA is financially sound and owns two production sites – the first
opening in 1990 in Hungary and the second in 2015 in Vietnam. We
decide for ourselves what and where things happen and can ensure
the best possible quality control and guarantee compliance with all
social and environmental standards.
