The family company
originated with my father,
Fernand Petzl, and his passion
for caving. One of the leading
experts of his generation, he
spent his life experimenting
with new vertical progression
techniques and invented
equipment that radically
changed the status quo. The
Petzl company quickly applied
these underground tools and
solutions to other vertical
environments: to the
mountains first - rock climbing
and mountaineering - and
then to the professional
sector, with work and rescue
at height. Petzl is now known
as the leading innovator in the
vertical world and has been
associated with all major
underground, alpine and
Himalayan adventures since
the 1970s. While closely
involved with outdoor sports
enthusiasts and professionals,
we remain true to our core
values and ways: listening to
and valuing our customers,
taking innovative and
practical approaches and
demanding the highest quality.
