The company seems to have been founded about 2001 and gone out of business in 2005.[2]

The company's products consisted of the Skyward line of paramotors, all powered by the Solo 210 engine series.[1]

Reviewer Rene Coulon noted in 2003 that the Skyward line of paramotors was, "well known worldwide for its reinforced chassis and very efficient engine." Coulon noted at that time that the line was selling well and that the German product certification process had resulted in a reduction in the line's noise output.[1]
