In addition to Theodor Peterson and Mats Larsson Casco also signed contracts with following skiers of the Swedish team:

Casco has in recent years taken an increasing share of the market. Among their biggest stars we can find Petter Northug, Ole Einar Bjørndalen and Kristina Šmigun. Casco also provides rollerski helmets to the Canadian Biathlon team.

The US source for glasses, screens and helmets is Chi-Town Sports.
