Petzl

In the 1970s , the PETZL family founded a company in France whose mission was to create simple, effective and intelligent solutions for people enthusiastic about the vertical and exploring the unknown. Loyalty to this mission is reflected in all products, equipment and professional texts. In recent years, the activity of this company has seen rapid and significant changes: sports activities that were almost unknown until recently are being discovered and developed. There is a specialization of individual branches such as climbing in free terrain, climbing on artificial walls, climbing big walls and bouldering.

For example, winter mountaineering and others are also experiencing a great boom. At the same time as interest in the vertical expands, this company still continues to work. The team designs new techniques, creates training aids, mainly tries to draw attention to the ubiquitous risk. This production company also wants to be more involved in the development of the sports community. Therefore, he decided to establish a foundation in 2006 that will support efforts in the field of sustainable development with an emphasis on education and prevention of risks associated with activities at heights and the search for a balance between man and the natural, cultural and economic environment.
