About NORTIK European leader in folding boats

You as a customer and your personal needs are the focus!

Folding boat variety with us means: Not just any boat - but the right one! Our range includes a variety of different boats - and of course that's the way it has to be. After all, one crucial point is that we want to offer you exactly the boat that suits your needs. If you want an uncomplicated, quick to set up and lightweight kayak from time to time during the year, which you can take with you on your trips with your motorhome, your needs are very different from those of someone planning a four-week Greenland expedition. For us, it goes without saying that we cannot meet such different requirements with two or three standard products. We want you to end up with exactly the right product for your requirements.

Specialist retailers are therefore a very important pillar of our success. Well-trained staff can give you the best advice and ensure that you get the right product for your needs. Local dealers often offer the opportunity to test and compare the boats in real life, and a competent contact person is also available to you at any time after the purchase. A very important added value for you, which is also attested to by independent sources.

Green material vs. longevity

Paddling itself is highly environmentally friendly. You move with muscle power, don't pollute the environment with exhaust fumes or noise and don't produce any particulate matter. But just as with bicycles, for example, the question arises as to how environmentally friendly the manufacture of the product is, from the raw material to the sale, and another criterion is also immensely important:

How long does such a product “live”? One of the biggest (environmental) problems of consumption are “disposable products” that waste resources but are hardly used in the end - in other words, they cause almost nothing but damage. That's why we focus on ensuring that the product is actually used. This only happens if the product is fun to use, fulfills its intended purpose, performs well and is a high-quality product that is purchased “once” and not every year.

On the other hand, durable and maintainable quality is of immense importance to us. This means that our products must meet the quality requirements and guarantee a long service life. This also includes repairability and the possibility of rapid reconditioning. To this end, we maintain a large spare parts warehouse in Germany, where almost every part that is installed in or on our boats is always in stock. At the same time, we have our own workshop that can repair almost any damage if something does happen and you can't or don't want to repair it yourself.

For us, the benefits and preservation of a product are key criteria for justifying the resources used - this makes a product sustainable!
