Edelrid
Over 150 years of EDELRID - 150 years of passion and enthusiasm for mountain sports, 150 years of ingenuity and pioneering innovations, 150 years of Made in Germany.
ALPINE THINKING FOR OVER 150 YEARS
Looking back on a long and tumultuous history, the company has burned down twice over the years and has been rebuilt, bought and resold, mastering tragedies and celebrating successes. We invented the kernmantel rope, which is still the industry standard for all mountain ropes. The first rope that can swim, a rope that has been certified to all three possible standards (single, double and twin rope) and the first PFC-free climbing rope that complies with the UIAA standard for water-repellent ropes.
Innovative and sustainable products
EDELRID now produces millions of meters of climbing rope every year and is proud to be able to say that every single centimetre is bluesign® certified. EDELRID was the first rope manufacturer in the world to ensure that all its ropes fulfil the stringent bluesign®standard. This set new industry benchmarks for innovation and sustainability. But EDELRID has always stood for so much more than just outstanding ropes.
With for divisions solid on the ground
Sport, Safety, Customer Solutions and Adventure Park – over the years we have built a solid foundation. Our four divisions make us largely independent of market fluctuations. This gives us the necessary freedom for creativity and enough scope for the development of the best products in each segment. However, all our business areas have one thing in common: mountain sports. This is our origin and our passion. That drives us high and gives us grip. It lets us cross borders again and set our goals ever higher. But mountain sports are also a solid basis for stability in the market. Our expertise gained over the decades is reflected equally in all business areas. We create synergies through knowledge transfer by intelligently networking specialists in their field with those of other areas – for even better products and even more satisfied customers.
We also use our knowledge of mountain sports in the area of Adventure Park, whose products are tailored for use in ropes courses, anopy tours or adventure parks. Professionals in the field of occupational safety benefit from the know-how of the vertical world.
The EDELRID Work Safety products are specially tailored to the challenges of industrial climbers, arborists and mountaineers.
The Customer Solutions division is an expression of our textile expertise, which has also accompanied us since the founding of EDELRID. It is aimed at companies that rely on a strong partner for the supply of textile braids for industrial applications. The field extends from lines for gliding, kite and parachutes to technical lines, which are used in the automotive industry, up to customized solutions for various drive technologies.
All this is EDELRID.
