Spanning a remarkable history of 160 years since its inception in June 1863, EDELRID has evolved from a modest manufacturer of strands and cords into a global leader in the production of climbing ropes and safety equipment for mountaineering and professional use. This journey has been characterized by a series of transformative successes and challenging setbacks. The invention of the kernmantle rope marked a revolutionary leap in mountaineering safety, propelling the company into the limelight. However, this success was shadowed by devastating fires that nearly obliterated its production capabilities, not once, but twice. Despite these trials, EDELRID’s resilience and innovative spirit have seen it through, leading to groundbreaking developments like the seat climbing harness in the 1970s, which redefined climbing gear. Each chapter of disaster and triumph has shaped EDELRID into the renowned company it is today, a testament to its enduring commitment to safety, innovation, and quality.
At the heart of EDELRID lies a deep-seated passion for mountain sports, a foundation that not only inspires its continuous quest for innovation but also ensures a grounded approach to product development. This passion extends beyond mountaineering to enrich the company's Professional business segment, where decades of mountain sport experience inform the design and functionality of specialized Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). EDELRID's expertise benefits a wide range of commercial users across Work Safety, Adventure Parks, and Customer Solutions sectors, offering meticulously engineered products for industrial climbing, tree care, and rescue operations. By fostering synergies and facilitating knowledge exchange across various disciplines, EDELRID remains dedicated to exceeding the expectations of its customers with products that embody safety, efficiency, and unparalleled quality.
