Last week I had the pleasure of visiting Pelican's factory in Laval, Canada.
It is an immense place, where raw material pellets come in at one end and finished boats and snow toys come out at the other.
For those who are keen on their technology, the production facility was mind blowing.
The whole thing starts with the production of the material sheets. The guys at Pelican found it was best to product their own sheets, so their exact requirements and strict quality could be adhered to.
Two massive machines extrude a constant feed sheet which looks just like a giant strip of bubblegum. This is then cut into sheets ready for the intended product.
A selection of machines make the canoe and kayaks, the biggest and fastest turning out 36 per hour!
There are some great new products and accessories on their way for the 2010 season, as soon as we have images, we'll post them up.
