About Us - Introduction

Briton was established in 1979, by graduate mechanical engineer and passionate skier Brian Thomas, initially as a ski lift manufacturer, before moving into terrain design, earthworks and installation for the UK’s synthetic ski slope industry.

In the early 90s Brian saw an opportunity for a product that would go on to revolutionise what was possible in snowsports, and after several years of development Snowflex® was launched.

Since the beginning, Briton has focused on continuous investment in research and development, having gained knowledge from hundreds of completed projects and strong relationships with customers all around the world. Snowflex® continues to be manufactured exclusively on purpose designed machinery at Briton’s factory in Holmfirth, UK.

Briton is looking to continue to extend its reach and continue to introduce year-round snowsports to new communities far and wide.
