Alien Workshop is a ""Skateboarding"" company founded in 1990 by Chris Carter and Mike Hill.[1]

Based in Dayton Ohio, this is a departure from the Californian-centric skateboard industry.

Alien Workshop produces decks, wheels, apparel and other skateboard accessories, and is known for its artistic graphical style, with themes of paranoia and futurism often used[2] Alien Workshop is owned and distributed by DNA Distribution, which also owns Habitat Skateboards and Reflex Bearings. DNA Distribution was bought by Burton Snowboards on February 5, 2008.[3]

Notable team members[4] include Steve Berra, Rob Dyrdek, Anthony Van Engelen, Josh Kalis, and Arto Saari.
