Safety Solutions from the Alps to the Workplace

There’s no question Petzl is a company with a fascinating story behind it. Developing out of one man’s passion for caving, the safety equipment manufacturer has grown to become one of the world’s biggest names in climbing gear and personal protective equipment for those who work and play in darkness or at height. The Petzl company was established by Fernand and his son Paul in 1975, and today it continues to be owned and operated by the same family. Petzl headlamps have brought light to the world’s darkest of places for over four decades.

What does Petzl do?

Petzl produces an extensive range of products designed for a variety of disciplines involved with industry and height and vertical environments including the ‘pro’ markets of rail, wind energy, arborism, rope access and rescue operators through to ‘sport’ markets of climbing, trail running and mountaineering. All of our products are invented and developed at our headquarters in the heart of the French Alps.

What sets Petzl apart from its competitors?

One of the long-standing missions of Petzl has been to improve ergonomics and efficiencies, whether that’s offering integrated helmets and headlamps for rail, working on a wind turbine or pushing the limits of difficulties on an Alpine climb, It’s about looking at the touchpoints of the products, how they’re handled and how they feel, so they are as simple and as seamless to use as we can possibly make them, but also so they make the job as efficient and stress-free as possible.

Petzl’s philosophy for design and production is also based on accelerating change, transforming, and innovating in order to provide professionals and sports enthusiasts with the quality products they demand. Testing tower, experimentation centre, individual inspections, LEAN manufacturing process – Petzl was a pioneer in all of these innovations.

Helmet and headlamp integrated solutions

Petzl headlamps can be installed on any helmet by using the headband, adhesive plates, or integrated mounts at the front or rear of Petzl helmets. With a power source that comes either from disposable batteries and/or rechargeable batteries, you can be sure that you’ll have the light you need, when you need it.
