Nitro Snowboards was founded by Thomas Delago and Sepp Ardelt in Seattle, Washington, in 1990. Since then, Nitro has helped shape modern snowboarding through industry-first products, patented innovations, and an unwavering commitment to the sport.

Today, Nitro is a global, family-oriented company headquartered in Hünenberg, Switzerland. With more than 36 years of experience, Nitro is recognized as one of the world’s most established and authentic snowboard brands. Its team riders have earned numerous Olympic and X Games gold medals, while its products continue to push snowboarding forward for riders at every level.

Nitro believes that people are at the heart of snowboarding. As one of the original snowboarder-owned brands, the company continues to innovate, inspire, and improve how people experience the mountains through snowboarding.

Beyond creating products designed to deliver the best possible experience on snow, Nitro’s goal is to support the riders, retailers, resorts, and communities that have made—and continue to make—snowboarding what it is today.
