The Arniko Story

Marius Arniko Arter was born in Nepal and spent part of his childhood in the Valley of Kathmandu.

His enthusiasm for skating has arisen with the first skateboard he received and lasted ever since. While he was still in his apprenticeship as a carpenter, he often used the factory to produce his own skateboards.

After he got his degree, he decided to visit the country of his chlidhood. Arriving in Nepal he already missed his skateboard, realizing that there was no opportunity to buy a skateboard in the whole country. Thus he decided quite simply to manufacture one by himself - it wasn‘t going to be the last one.

In spring 2007 Marius Arter and eleven friends of his from St. Gallen (Switzerland) decided to produce skateboards professionally.
