LAKE PLACID — USA Luge announced an agreement with the Ohio-based fiber glass company Fibre Glast Developments Corporation on Thursday.

The U.S. team’s coaching staff has been using Fibre Glast products on its sled development projects for the past year.

Fibre Glast became an official supplier of USA Luge on July 1, with the term expiring in June of 2022.

“We first came to Fibre Glast as customers, with our coaching and technical staff being big fans of the company,” Director of Marketing and Sponsorships for USA Luge and Olympic silver medalist, Gordy Sheer, said in a press release. “As soon as they were informed that we have an official deal, the coaches and technicians were asking when they could place an order for materials.”

Fibre Glast will have a presence on the USA Luge website, it’s entitled to use the organization’s logo, photos and marks, and will have a social media presence throughout the period of the agreement.

USA Luge will be able to access Fibre Glast’s catalog of materials and supplies, which include fabrics, resins, coatings and other related equipment.

“We are thrilled and proud to be a part of USA Luge family in their quest for the podium in Beijing, February 2022. This is a talented and exciting team, and we can’t wait to see how fast they will go,” Fibre Glast Developments Corporation CEO, Mark Knight said in a press release.

Fibre Glast Developments Corporation will be among the U.S. national team’s technology partners as USA Luge hits the final seven months until the 2022 Beijing Winter Games.
