APCO Aviation is one of the world's biggest producers of paragliders, harnesses, parachute rescue systems and accessories and has been producing world-beating gliders for over 20 years. Apco make everything, from world record beating wings, and the entry level Prima, a wing that has become a benchmark for many schools and instructors around the world, to the Mayday Emergency System which continues to save pilots on a regular basis.

APCO has been involved in the paragliding industry from the very beginning. Anatoly Cohn, the company's owner and founder, started in hang gliding, designing and building gliders from 1976 with Agur Gliders until 1982 when he founded APCO. He quickly realised that paragliding was the direction for sport flying and concentrated on developing quality gliders at a competitive price.

Since that time the company has steadily grown, employing now 60 people and produces thousands of paragliders, harnesses and parachute reserve systems every year.

Apco were the first (and for many years the only) company to use the silicon-coated Gelvenor cloth; by far the most resilient cloth to UV deterioration and fading. For this reason we are always happy to take Apco gliders in part exchange as we are sure the cloth will be OK even after hundreds of flying hours.
