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.
