Let’s say a client wants to purchase a synthetic ice rink, why choose Xtraice? What makes Xtraice different from other North American competitors?
We´ve been in business since 2003 and one thing we have never ceased to do is limit our investment in R&D. Why? This ensures we are delivering the best product on the market. In a market where everyone claims to be the best, it’s tricky to know who to buy from, until you actually test the ice and this is where we have prevailed.
What´s your track record in the U.S.? What experience do you have?
At one point we diversified into Residential and Commercial clients and we are proud to say that we have Residential clients such as NHL All Star Aaron Ekblad and Commercial clients such as Cirque Du Soleil, Peninsula Hotel and multiple NHL teams.
Where is synthetic ice heading? Is there future?
We have seen that with there being shorter and milder winters and less ice time for teams, synthetic ice is the future and what teams and just people that enjoy skating will resort to so we are betting strong on an environmental-friendly, ecological and all year around skating for everyone!
