Alien Workshop
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alien Workshop, (sometimes referred to as AWS) is a skateboard company founded in 1990 by Mike Hill and Chris Carter. It is based in Dayton, Ohio, a departure from the Californian-centric based skateboard industry. It produces decks, wheels, apparel and other skateboard accessories. Alien Workshop is known for its artistic graphical style with themes of paranoia and futurism often used.
Alien Workshop is owned and distributed by DNA Distribution, which also owns Habitat Skateboards and Reflex Bearings.
Alien Workshop has taken the stance of pro-domestic skateboard manufacturing, opting to get their boards manufactured in the USA and Canada instead of overseas.[1]
On March 9, 2007, Alien Workshop started a new website AWS Filmworks to document its up coming video.
DNA Distribution was bought by Burton Snowboards on February 5th, 2008.[2]
