Description

Established in July 2018 within the North-Western Planning Region of Lovech, Goldlight Ltd. specializes in the creation of composite lighting fixtures, offering a diverse range of products in terms of size, shape, and color.

The core objective of this project is to develop a groundbreaking, eco-friendly snow sled (pulk) manufactured from recyclable green epoxy, specifically SR GreenPoxy 28. This resin, characterized by high viscosity and lower environmental impact, can be tailored with various hardeners to meet specific product requirements, such as mechanical strength, UV protection, and production suitability. The innovation also extends to the manufacturing process, which adopts vacuum infusion. This advanced technique ensures efficient resin usage, minimizes material wastage, allows flexibility in product size and shape, maintains high consistency, and promotes a cleaner, more environmentally friendly operation. Additionally, the vacuum infusion process significantly reduces styrene emissions as the resin cures within a closed environment.

The implementation of this project is in partnership with Fjellpulken As, a well-established Norwegian sled producer renowned for its products, which cater to a wide range of adventures, from small family excursions to the most challenging polar expeditions. With a solid brand reputation and a track record of selling over 100,000 pulks globally, this partnership will play a pivotal role in producing innovative and eco-conscious sleds.
