Petzl's roots lie in a passion for exploration. Since its beginnings in caving, this family-owned company’s mission has remained the same: to offer practical solutions that allow people to progress through high-angle terrain and low-light environments. More than 40 years later, Petzl continues to invent products and provide solutions that allow sports enthusiasts and professionals to access some of the most challenging places on Earth, day or night. Petzl America, surrounded by mountains in Utah's beautiful Salt Lake Valley, is Petzl's North American headquarters. We were voted one of America's Best Places to Work in 2012 and 2015 by Outside Magazine, and received a bronze medal from the League of American Bicyclists for being a Bike Friendly Business. We handle all sales, marketing, customer service, and distribution functions for Petzl in North America.
