Story
when craftsman Fernand Petzl was introduced to caving. Back at his workshop after each excursion to the depths, Fernand imagined new tools for exploring darkness and heights. In 1968, he marketed his first products; in 1970, Petzl was born. Five years later, the first company headquarters was established at the foot of the Dent de Crolles.
For decades the Petzl family has built a stable environment that fosters creative solutions and industrial excellence. The new generation is rooted in these principles and ready to make new discoveries.
The Petzl family business is not listed on the stock market. We're proud of our independence; we make our own choices, take responsibility for our decisions, and maintain a long-term, sustainable vision for the future. The confidence and satisfaction of our customers, our dealers, and our partners drives everything we do.
