At Nagano Skate, we have always focused on innovation and specialization to stand out. Recently, our co-founder François Drolet had the opportunity to share our vision in a Radio-Canada report, which addressed a growing concern: the threats of American tariffs on Canadian products.
François reassured: despite these economic challenges, the impact on our company will be minimal. Why? Because we operate in a niche market with unique and highly specialized products. Our speed skating equipment, our customizable clothing, and our designs are not just mass-produced items, but the result of technical expertise and know-how that meet the specific needs of athletes and sports teams.
In a constantly evolving economic context, our strategy is based on two pillars: innovation and quality. By maintaining the production in our own factories and by controlling every step, from design to manufacturing, we ensure not only strict cost control but also unmatched added value for our athletes.
We see these challenges as an opportunity to strengthen our relationships with our partners and expand our presence in new markets, such as in Europe. By staying true to our values, we prove that a small business can not only withstand economic uncertainty but also thrive through its vision.
"We also wish to highlight the company B45 Baseball, which demonstrates a lot of resilience and flexibility in its approach! In the current context, it is more important than ever to support local businesses, especially in the world of sports. Together, we continue to innovate to showcase our Quebec expertise internationally!"
Thank you to Radio-Canada for this platform that allows us to highlight our commitment to innovation and resilience. At Nagano Skate, we move forward, no matter the obstacles on or off the ice.
