ABOUT RICK WEISSENBORN
I founded Innovation Inc. in 1990 to develop the Pro 500 Ski Vise, a product designed to hold new ski constructions better than existing conventional ski vises. The commercial success of this invention, first sold in Japan through Hong Kong based trading house Jardine Matheson and then globally through Norwegian ski wax producer Swix Sport AS, inspired me to invent and manufacture several more products sold for 17 years through Swix Sport and Burton Snowboards. As a former ski racer I’ve always been passionate about skiing and even more passionate about inventing. My 21 patents are now the intellectual property behind a comprehensive suite of innovative, award winning tools sold exclusively under Tools4Boards, Tools4Bikes, Pocket Edger and Tools4Cameras brands to a global market through select retailers including Amazon.com and Mountain Equipment Company. Awards won include the German ISPO BrandNew naming the most promising newcomers in the sports industry, ISPO Award recognizing the most exceptional sporting goods for outstanding innovation, Rat für Formgebung Excellent Product Design Award, two world-renowned iF DESIGN AWARDS, Red Dot and Red Dot Innovative Product Awards, the world’s most prestigious design competition dating back to 1955.
