The Evolution of Petzl Headlamps
Innovations That
Challenge Convention
With the introduction of the first headlamp
in 1973, the legendary GRIGRI assisted
blocking belay device in 1991, and the
MAESTRO rescue descender in 2019,
Petzl ingenuity has always pushed
standard practices forward. Since the
creation of Petzl in 1970, our objective
has always been to make progressing
in dark or vertical spaces safer and more
comfortable.
3. Industrial Excellence 2. Innovative Spirit
Beyond the Standards
We have a deep responsibility to the people who trust us with their lives, and we develop, test, and qualify all of our products above
required standards. Our design center, based in France, integrates all crafts that are related to the creation of products: mechanical,
textile, electronic, optical, and technological. From the design and prototype phases, the reliability of a product and the safety of the
user are continuously evaluated, with particular attention to risks of use.
With labs dedicated to product testing, we conduct dynamic fall and impact resistance tests, perform cyclical testing, and evaluate
performance, as well as beam quality and burn times of our headlamps. This process includes rigorous field testing in order to test
the ergonomics and reliability during real-world use.
Zero Defects - PPE
(Personal Protective Equipment)
Reliability is at the center of our concerns: our goal is for our products
to consistently function at the same level of excellence.
Our objective is to allow zero defective products to leave our facilities,
which involves processes with significant extra costs at every stage
of production.
As we navigate an increasingly globalized economy, we go to great
lengths to support our distributors and dealers, and we are heavily
involved in the fight against counterfeit products.
Production and Inspection
Petzl’s production sites are located in France, in the towns of Crolles, Eybens,
and Rotherens, as well as in Rawang, Malaysia. Remaining competitive and keeping
the majority of our production in France means that we continuously optimize
our production lines and reduce our waste. This production infrastructure is
complemented by long-term partnerships with key suppliers in Europe and Asia.
Our purchasing and quality control teams work closely with suppliers, ensuring to the best
of our abilities, product reliability and quality that meets or exceeds our strict requirements.
Quality inspection is present throughout every step of the production process: machine
inspection of operations, human inspection at key points, further reinforcement by error-
proofing systems and final individual inspection of each product.
We regularly audit the methods, quality management systems, and CSR practices
(Corporate Social Responsibility) of our suppliers and strategic partners, especially
when it comes to their employees.
Going Farther
As passionate pioneers, we delight in creating
new opportunities for our users to venture
into ever more committing terrain — to go
farther and higher, to work more efficiently,
to maximize safety and to make what was
inaccessible today accessible tomorrow.
Simplicity, Durability, Eff iciency
In every tool we design and construct, we prioritize simplicity, durability, and efficiency.
For Petzl, being a pioneer has meant 50 years of passion, expertise, innovation, and
continuous improvement. This approach to our craft and our business has allowed us
to serve as a global expert, as we did in 2006 with the conception of the EXO personal
escape system. At the request of, and in collaboration with, the firefighters of New York
City, we were able to design an efficient solution that would allow easy escape in critical
situations. It’s an achievement that has been recognized with several awards, including
best invention of the year by Time Magazine.
