What OZONE does

Ozone Paragliders Ltd is a privately held UK manufacturer of paragliding, paramotor, and speed-flying equipment that serves pilots across the full skill spectrum, from first-flight EN A gliders such as the Moxie and Moto through to top-of-class competition wings including the Zeno 2, Enzo 3, and Viper 6. The company's technical foundation rests on proprietary airframe engineering—most notably its Sharknose technology, reflex profile designs, GT construction for durability and accessibility, and lightweight material builds for hike-and-fly applications—combined with full in-house manufacturing, strict quality control, end-to-end component traceability, and a comprehensive warranty against manufacturing defects. The product portfolio spans roughly 60+ active SKUs across gliders, harnesses (open, reversible, pod, tandem), reserve parachutes, and accessories, supported by adjacent sub-brands (Ozone Paramotor, Ozone Speed, Ozone Kites) and a multi-language website in eight languages.

The business is run on a one-time-product-sale revenue model with a small professional repair-services stream, sold exclusively through an authorized dealer network spanning 60+ countries that handles sales, fitting, warranty processing, and after-sales support; pricing is not publicly disclosed and customers are directed to contact local dealers. Marketing leverages Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Vimeo channels, multilingual content, and a sponsored team-pilot program that has delivered multiple FAI World Championship titles and podiums across 2024–2026. The company is founder-led (Bruce Goldsmith, Mike Cavanagh, Rob Whittall, David Pilkington) with Jean-Christophe Skiera as general manager, operates with 11–50 employees from the United Kingdom, and shows no evidence of external institutional funding, M&A activity, or public markets listing.
