ADVANCE celebrated the 10th anniversary of the first wing in 1999 : the SIGMA, launched
in August 1989. It is exactly 10 years later that the EPSILON 3 arrives. The 16th model
marketed by ADVANCE.
The last 10 years have allowed ADVANCE to become recognised as a brand with a strong
image and total independence in the paragliding market, which is often as unstable as the air
we fly in. The unique philosophy with the development of the gliders has made ADVANCE a
brand recognised for its individual character, right up to date technology, utilising the latest
performance and security. Distribution of the product range is undertaken by professional
importers and dealers throughout the world.
The principal team of ADVANCE has remained unchanged since 1989 (perhaps rare and
even unique in the paragliding world): ROBERT GRAHAM (Design and Development),
ROLF ZELTNER (Administration and Production) and VALÉRY CHAPUIS (Sales and Marketing).
A strong team with many years of experience, able to react quickly to the evolution of the
market and sport. The principal team is complemented by international test pilots.
There is a glider in the brand for every type of pilot from novice to competition:
EPSILON / SIGMA / OMEGA / BI BETA

We use the latest production techniques at our own facilities. The plant operators skills are
continually updated and the entire production line is regularly checked. This guarantees our
customers superbly finished gliders with the greatest safety and performance features.

The protection of the environment is a decisive consideration when we develop, choose
materials for and produce a new ADVANCE product. We exclusively use raw materials that
stand up to these qualities and use environmentally friendly practises. When one day your
glider has come to the end of its useful life please be sure to separate the metal parts from
the lines, risers and canopy and dispose of it with the environment in mind.
