When high-performance materials meet extreme outdoor challenges – innovation happens. The Italian climbing equipment manufacturer C.A.M.P. selected Alleima’s advanced stainless steel Nanoflex® for one of their top-tier ice axes, the Corsa Nanotech, designed for professional alpinists and mountaineers.
A material that makes a difference – from industry to mountain tops
Originally developed for critical applications in aerospace and medical devices, Nanoflex® offers a unique combination of lightweight, high strength, elasticity, toughness and corrosion resistance. These properties make it ideal not only for demanding industrial environments, but also for the harsh and unpredictable conditions faced by climbers, guides, and alpinists around the world.
“To see our material used and celebrated by a respected outdoor technical brand is a strong testament to the performance and reputation of Nanoflex®,” says Marta Invernizzi, Technical Marketing at Alleima.
