Union Binding Company has become the go-to name for snowboarders who demand the best from their gear. Founded in 2005 by a couple of industry vets in Italy and Seattle, Union set out with a simple mission: build the strongest, highest-performing snowboard bindings on the planet. They’ve stayed true to that mission – Union only makes bindings, so all their passion and R&D go into keeping your boots securely and comfortably attached to your board. From day one they’ve refused to compromise on materials and durability. In fact, Union is the only binding brand that owns its production factory, which means total quality control from design to finished product. The result is bindings so reliable that pros like Travis Rice trust them for 100+ days a season, and weekend riders know they’ll last for years. Union is also pushing the envelope on sustainability in the snowboard world. They use recycled plastics and bio-based materials in newer models (partnering on a new material that’s 90% sustainable content) and strive to reduce waste in production. Plus, their bomber construction means you won’t be replacing your bindings every season – less gear in the landfill is a win for everyone. Bottom line: Union Bindings are built to send it in the park or backcountry, all while the company quietly takes care of business in an eco-friendlier way.
