Lib Tech make their own, plus Gnu and Roxy boards, while the Elan factory in Austria make Arbor, Rome, Capita, Nitro, Technine, Academy, Allian... although there is still secrecy about technical details between brands. By saying they'll just have 'different graphics' is pretty naive... I'm sure there'll be a split board, fish, and large nosed board in there, as well as using the most sustainable raw materials possible. Good on him - I'm sure his boards will be an inspiration to all those other boring brands and completely unique!
