VANCOUVER, BC - TheNewswire - December 14, 2022 - SWMBRD Sports Inc. (CSE:SWIM) (“SWMBRD” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the commencement of mass production of its proprietary swimboard (the SWMBRD) at Tahe Outdoors, France, the Company’s OEM manufacturing partner.
On December 13, 2022, Tahe Outdoors informed the Company that the planned SWMBRD production line had been initialized. The production line produces boards using Tahe’s advanced ACE-TECH process, and utilizes both sets of custom built SWMBRD molds (please see the news release of March 29, 2022 https://swmbrd.com/press/news-releases/swmbrd-provides-update-on-manufacturing-preparations/).
