BAVARIAN HANDMADE

DEAR PADDLERS!

Since the formation of the Prijon GmbH we place importance to sustainability, respect of humans and nature and a fair treatment of our partners. Being responsible for what we do isn't a trend for us, but has ever been an obviousness instead. Our wish to spend time on the water with a good feeling in the heart, spurs us to pollute the nature as less as possible. With the Alps in view and the Chiemsee lake in reach we see a huge responsibility for sustainable thinking and acting.

Bavaria is our homeland, craft is our tradition. A family environment, long-term friendships and collaborations with our partners and customers are important for us. We stand for sustainable thinking and doing and we care about the environment, in which we love to be outdoors in nature.

Inhouse Energy Generation

Since 2009 we operate a photovoltaic-system on the roof of our warehouse and ecologically produce a part of our needed electricity for the production out of sunlight. The process heat of the production of the hulls is used for the heating of the production building.

PRIJON ECO – WE LOVE OUR NATURE

Our eco-products are sustainable and eco-friendly. The kayaks are made according to the latest standards in our factory in Rosenheim, Germany. Permanent quality checks during the production guarantee a constant high quality and increase the value chain in the country. Our love to nature and the responsibility for the following generations is a matter of the heart for us. We award the eco-label to all of our products, produced according to these standards.

We Sew And Press On Our Own

All of our sewed and pressed parts come from our workers in our own sewing room or compactor. This is how we work regional and sustainable.

Short Ways

More than 80 % of the components assembled in our kayaks, come from our own factory or from suppliers located within max. 300 km radius. This ensures only short delivery- and transport routes to our dealers and customers. And this results in only low emissions and low energy costs for the delivery. The heavy oil consuming containership is missing in the life cycle assessment of a Prijon kayak!

Accessories For Kayak Sports

We’re designing our equipment for passionate paddlers together with our partners to meet the high demands on quality and functionality. Here, too, we rely on the proximity to the development and production of our suppliers. We develop and manufacture the majority of our accessories ourselves or source them in the immediate vicinity or in neighboring EU countries. This ensures a continuous quality and delivery reliability for our accessories as well as for our kayaks, delivery security is possible. This enables us to guarantee the best possible service.

Disposition

Repair, don't replace - that's one of our principles. We always strive to repair products rather than replace them. The material and manufacturing process of Prijon HTP kayaks are also ecologically safe.

HTP is groundwater neutral and food safe. Both stabilizers and color concentrates are of organic origin and free of heavy metals. We take back old, worn-out Prijon kayaks free of charge for life and take care of their proper disposal. PE kayaks are recycled and can be reused in other areas. We stand for sustainable thinking and acting and protect the environment, in which we as outdoor sportsmen are so happy to be on the move.
