LET’S PRODUCE YOUR RECYCLABLE HOLDS

How does our manufacturing process work?

At Ghold, we’re committed to establishing real partnerships. We first take the time to discuss your needs in detail, to ensure that our production tool is adapted to your shapes and to your needs.

1 - Prototyping

To guarantee the best quality, we invite you to bring your shapes directly to our site so that our team can advise you and provide their expertise (grain, drilling, finishing of shapes, application of your logos, etc.).

2 - Production

Once we’ve received the shapes, we create the molds and the first prototypes within a month.

Once the prototypes are approved, the production starts. We produce in France, in Savoie (Chambery), and deliver throughout Europe.

3 - Recycling

Old holds are collected and returned directly to our site for recycling.

The Ghold label on all holds facilitates the sorting and recycling process.

RECYCLING AND CIRCULAR PRODUCTION

Around 7 million holds are thrown away every year, impacting  badly the environment. With this in mind, Ghold has developed an innovative technology capable of manufacturing holds that are both recyclable and recycled. Climbing holds using Ghold’s technology can be recycled up to 10 times: the carbon footprint is already reduced by two with the first recycling cycle!

 

Our holds are a part of a circular economy

As old holds need to be recycled to reduce their environmental impact, it seemed important to us to offer a collecting and recycling solution.

Our manufacturing process is at the heart of a circular economy. We offer a free collecting service in climbing gyms. Once collected, the holds are sorted, grinded and reused into future generations of hold !
