Company overview
Burton built the worlds first snowboard factory.[citation needed] It is the largest snowboard brand in the world. Burton products are marketed worldwide in over 4348 stores, 1536 of those stores are located in the United States. In 2003 Burton allowed several online companies to sell Burton products over the internet. For years Burton had only been available through stores locally, but Burton felt that an online presence would allow buyers to have an alternative instead of turning to another brand.
Besides selling Burton products, Burton stores sell several sub-brands which focus on specific market niches.[clarification needed] These sub-brands include Anon Optics (snowboard goggles and eyewear); RED (helmets and body armor), Analog (outerwear) and Gravis (footwear). In 2005, Four Star Distribution sold four of its snowboard brands to Burton, including Forum Snowboarding which designs hardgoods and softgoods, outerwear and streetwear. Burton, a privately-owned company, also owns a surfing distributor.
The Burton line is split into three types of categories. They are: Freeride, for big mountain; freestyle, for versatile ride; and park, for freestyle disciplines like half-pipe and park. Each of the categories has different levels of performance and price. In 2009, Burton's line included 61 snowboards in men, women, and youth.
Board prices range from $300 to $1,500.
In February 2008, Burton acquired DNA Distribution, which includes the skateboard manufacturer Alien Workshop, and two other companies.
In 2008, the winter sports industry had grown to $487 million. Burton had 4070% of these sales, depending on the category.
Average age of employees was 30 in 2008.
History
Burton factory in 2009, including double chairlift, originally used at a resort, between streetlights
Burton Snowboards was founded by Jake Burton Carpenter in 1977. Carpenter was inspired by the snurfer, invented by Sherman Poppen. He modified it. In 1977 Carpenter moved to Londonderry, Vermont to make the first Burton Snowboards. Carpenter first made snowboards by hand in his garage. He couldn't afford the proper equipmento he applied polyurethane wearing a scuba mask. His co-founder Dimitrije Milovich, was an East coast surfer and founder of Winterstick.
In 1978, they moved to Manchester, Vermont. During the early years 4 or 5 workers sold, shaped, and repaired their snowboards.
Carpenter campaigned for local resorts to open their lifts to snowboard riders. The first mountain to have reportedly let snowboarders in was in 1982, the Suicide Six Resort in Pomfret, Vermont. Next was Stratton Mountain, and later, Jay Peak and Stowe. When resorts started to accept riders, the public did too. Burton was in place to supply them with snowboards.
In 1982 Burton was marketing their product at the National Snowboarding Championships were organized at the Suicide Six Resort. In 1985 the National Snowboarding Championships moved to Stratton Mountain and became the U.S. Open Snowboarding championships which was operated and owned by Burton. This competition helped legitimize the sport.
In 1985 Burton established the European Division of Burton in Innsbruck, Austria. In 1986 distribution started in New Zealand. In 1992 the Burton factory relocated to Burlington VT. In 1994 they opened the Japan division in Urawa-shi.
In 2009, Burton owned 10 companies that sold snowboards, outerwear, and shoes. R.E.D, Gravis, Anon, Analog, Forum, Special Blend, Foursquare, Jeenyus, and most recently Channel Islands. Channel Islands is a surfboard company, and surfboards seems to be Burtons next goal. In 2008 Burton began to make surfboards in Vermont.
In 2008, a number of complaints arose when Burton produced snowboards with topsheets illustrating self-mutilation and Playboy bunnies.
Each year, Jake Burton has hosted the Fall Bash, to promote good will among employees and friends of the company. In 2009, the Fall Bash became the subject of controversy after the company attempted to censor press about it.
Marketing/Promotion
In order to attract rider interest, Burton sponsors professional riders and events. Burton's sponsored professional snowboard team includes Shaun White, Jeremy Jones, Terje Haakonsen, Ellery Hollingsworth, Kelly Clark, Hannah Teter, Kevin Pearce and Mason Aguirre. Burton has come under criticism over for its choices regarding the team, such as the removal of David Carrier Porcheron and other riders in 2008.
Burton sponsored the creation of organic terrain parks made of rocks, stumps, and logs. These parks can be found at Killington Ski Resort, Vermont, USA; Northstar at Tahoe, USA; Avoriaz, France; The Remarkables, New Zealand and Flachauwinkl Resort, Austria.
Burton Snowboards created a program called Learn To Ride (LTR) in 1998. They were the only snowboard company to focus on instruction methods and beginner-specific equipment. The goal was to give beginner snowboarders the best initial snowboarding experience possible so they would continue to snowboard. Burton teamed up with the American Association of Snowboard Instructors, the Canadian Association of Snowboard Instructors, and major resorts around the world.
The Chill program was founded to provide kids with the opportunity to learn to snowboard. Chills works in conjunction with inner city youth programs to take kids and teens to local mountains and teach them to ride over a 6-week period. Burton provides everything needed for the experience: gear, lift tickets, and instruction. Founded in 1995, Chill has provided over 12,000 underprivileged kids the opportunity to learn to snowboard. Because of the 2008 graphics controversy and concern over effects on youth, a local beneficiary severed its ties with Burton.
Technology
The company started using a single-channel binding-mounting system on its 2006 models. In 2007, this system was installed on other snowboard lines. A binding system was offered with this system that was designed to give the rider more control as well as greater board feel. However, critics say the system greatly hinders compatibility with existing bindings, and is less secure as it only uses two screws to hold the binding in place.
