From Woodenskis:
Elite skis were manfactured by Askjem for distribution in the United States.
Ole Askjem, started Askjem ski factory in Andebu, Norway in 1936 after learning ski production, while working at the Gravdal Ski Factory in Andebu. The following year Askjem Ski Factory was moved to Stokke. Kjell Erik Askjem says that they began to experiment with fiberglass skis in 1965 and that the factory was the first mass-produced fiberglass ski. He learned a lot about the way fiberglass skis were made from the Bonna Ski Factory in Lommedalen, Norway.
Gradually foreign ski manufacturers began to threaten the existence of Norwegian ski factories. Askjem ski factory eventually merged with Kongsberg ski factory, but in 1975 it was over. Askjem ski factory shut its doors in 1975.
