pchapman 262 #11 March 28, 2012 Looks like this thread has both US and non US canopy companies being listed. Who else is non US? (My knowledge is pretty limited, and I'm not looking at docile canopies specifically) Parachutes de France (don't market to the US) Firebird (Germany) Paratec (Germany) Basik (France) has a reserve and seems to have a couple mains too now Atair (Slovenia) is more for BASE but has a couple skydiving canopies I don't know to what degree eastern European gear gets into the rest of Europe, but there are companies there, such as: Polyot Ivanovo (Russia) Your profile isn't explicit on where you live. European companies tend to be largely unknown as sellers in the US, but a very few have dealers / distributors in the US (e.g., Basik). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My understanding is PD has fabrication shops in Deland & Honduras. Areodyne has fabrication shops in Deland & South Africa. Where a particular canopy is made has to do w/where they're busiest at the moment. Or, so I was told by a vendor recently. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
