  • Brunswick Corporation has acquired Fliteboard, a leading eFoiling technology company, in a strategic move to bolster its presence in the electric mobility market.
  • This acquisition aligns with Brunswick’s overall strategy to embrace autonomy, connectivity, electrification, and shared access.

This move marks a leap forward for Brunswick as it expands its foothold in the electrification market. Fliteboard is known for its groundbreaking combo of hydrofoils and electric propulsion on the water, and this acquisition will serve as a gateway for Brunswick to dive headfirst into the eFoiling surfboard arena.
