Petzl launches Technical Partner program and network
US-based manufacturer of work-at-height gear Petzl has launched the Petzl Technical Partner (PTP) program and network for the US and Canadian markets, joining forces with training companies in multiple rescue and rope access industries
The program formalizes close working relationships with experts in vertical environments that demonstrate a thorough understanding of their industry, contribute to the development of industry best practices, and integrate Petzl products and solutions into their teaching curriculum, according to the company.
John Pieper, Managing Director of Petzl’s Professional Division, explained: “Petzl is focused on designing and manufacturing the most innovative and highest-quality personal protective equipment for working at height. We do not have the depth of in-field and daily use expertise of the many training companies that use our products.”
Partner with respected training companies
Petzl’s vision is to partner with the most respected training companies to support their educational efforts, and to deepen the understanding of these industries and their use of PPE.
The training organizations that have joined the PTP network for 2020 are Roco Rescue, TEAM-1 Academy, RNR Rescue, Gravitec, Rigging for Rescue, Elevated Safety, MISTRAS/Ropeworks, and Nouvelle Hauteur. Petzl will develop custom support programs for each of these partners, relative to their business goals and unique industry demands.
