The French Paraski & Parasnowboarding Federation(FFH) and MND (via its subsidiary MBS, a specialist in ski area equipment and slope safety) officially signed a new sponsorship agreement on Wednesday, November 19, in the presence of all the athletes. This five-year partnership (2025–2030) aims to support the French Para Alpine Skiing and Snowboarding teams.

Already a long-standing partner of the FFH, MBS has chosen to renew and extend its commitment to the federation and its athletes over a longer period, to offer the best possible support leading up to the 2030 Olympic Games in France.

Nine athletes—including World Champion and Paralympic medallist Arthur Bauchet[1]—alongside the FFH coaching staff, gathered at MND’s headquarters in Sainte-Hélène-du-Lac, Savoie, for the official signing. They also had the opportunity to visit the company’s R&D offices and its manufacturing and assembly facilities, which are the backbone of MND’s 100% Made in France product lines.

This partnership is part of a shared ambition to improve training and competition conditions for para-athletes, both in France and internationally. MBS will provide technical support and donate equipment (FIS poles, “moustache” markers, etc.) for use on FFH sites.

A second key objective of the partnership is to launch a collaborative innovation initiative: a joint working group bringing together the expertise of the federation, its athletes, and MBS engineers to co-develop new technical solutions and products that further enhance athlete safety during both competitions and training sessions.

This partnership is also fully aligned with the group’s strategic plan Yes We Care 2030, which puts people, safety, and inclusive access to mountain sports at the heart of MND’s priorities. Through its support of the French Para Ski and Snowboard teams, MND and MBS reaffirm their commitment to fostering accessibility, performance, and safety for all mountain users.
