Bont is a family company based in Sydney, Australia. In 1974, Mr. Inze Bont and Mrs. Sara Bont were speed skaters. Mr. Bont found that his leather boots didn’t offer him the performance he wanted so he fibreglassed the ankle area of his old leather boots. This added boot support gave him increased performance. Soon, his friends also wanted him to fibreglass their boots and Bont Skates was born.

Since that time, Bont Skates has grown to be the Worlds largest producer of hand made speed skates and boasts more roller world championship gold medals than any other manufacturer, as well as gold, silver, and bronze at Olympic games.

Bont skates is the world leader in skate technology being the first to introduce materials such as kevlar, carbon fibre, velcro, neoprene, heat mouldable thermoplastics, and moulding socks for custom made boots in the 1980’s and 1990’s.

In 1996, Alexander Bont joined his parents company. The combination of his skating and cycling background with his degrees in IT and Marketing helped the company expend into new areas such as ice blades, inline wheels, bearings, inline frames, street shoes and now bike shoes. In 2002, Alexander’s sister Rebecca Bont joined the company bringing her expertise as a fashion designer to the mix. Bont Clothing is now sold in over 320 stores across Australia.

Mr. Bonts’ one piece construction method that he developed in 1975 in Sydney, Australia, is still the basis of all our modern construction techniques for the skates and cycle shoes. Mr and Mrs Bont are still active in the company with Mr. Bont heading up the R&D team and Mrs. Bont training employees in the office.
