A savoir-faire was born for the design and execution of solutions to ascend, descend, ensure and progress in the dark. In 1970, the first products of the "Fernand Petzl" brand were manufactured in a workshop in Saint-Nazaire-Les Eymes (Isère, France). Since then, the Petzl company, created in 1975, has managed to grow and become an international group, while retaining its family dimension and the passion that encouraged Fernand Petzl.
