About X-TRACK

X-TRACK produces modules using ecologically sustainable materials, including recycled, recyclable, and reusable products that are designed to endure for many years. Furthermore, the track configuration can be easily modified due to the interchangeable nature of the modules, resulting in a more cost-effective and appealing purchase over time. The development of the X-Track modules was a collaborative effort, with Elabore and LX Sim engineering firms creating the design plans and conducting simulations, while CDCQ and Coalia laboratories sourced the manufacturing materials. In addition, several other companies contributed to the production of the first X-Track modules, such as BeSpline for composite thermoforming, Soudure Bess Design for aluminium structure assembly, Flex-Sol for rubber coating, and RJAM for customized safety cushion manufacturing. As a result, X-Track products can rightfully claim to be made in Quebec, Canada. More info at www.x-track.ca
