The Petzl brand was created in the 1930s under Fernand Petzl, who for his passion, the cave research, used his expertise for the development and production of solutions for locomotion in caves. The first products were manufactured in 1970 in Saint-Nazaire-les-Eymes (France). In 1973 the first headlamps were developed for mountaineering, and 1975 followed the founding of the company Petzl in Crolles (France). Today, the family business generates approximately 154 million euros (2016) and employs 700 employees worldwide. The company produces four production sites, three of them are in France, and one is in Malaysia. The sale of approximately seven million products annually takes place in 55 countries. More than 20 new products and product improvements are presented annually. The Petzl Foundation was founded in 2006 and supported projects of non-profit partners worldwide. Her main areas of focus are accident prevention, vertical access security, environmental protection, and scientific research. The company offers a wide range of products for vertical activities in nature and flashlights for operations in the dark.
