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 conf idence and satisfaction of our customers, our dealers,

and our partners drives everything we do.

Sébastien, Paul, and Olivier Petzl

Our story begins in the 1930s in southeastern France

That was 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 f irst products; in 1970, Petzl was born.

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 Values That Motivate Us

For 50 years, Petzl has been built around four pillars, four fundamental values that motivate every

decision we make: remaining a stable family business, encouraging innovation to imagine the best

solutions, insisting on industrial excellence with the goal of zero defects, and remaining engaged

with our communities by providing global best practices.
