SKYLOTEC & Climbing Technology: stronger togethe4r

Following SKYLOTEC’s acquisition of Aludesign, the parent company of Climbing Technology in 2021, the integration process enters a new phase: starting from mid-2025 SKYLOTEC launches the OUTDOOR segment of SKYLOTEC with a clear goal: to deliver increasingly advanced, reliable solutions for outdoor professionals and enthusiasts. 

“Under the strong SKYLOTEC brand, each segment will support one another – delivering premium solutions for professionals working at height and climbers across all disciplines. Developing climbing equipment is demanding. It requires experience, technical expertise, and a passion for safety and performance. This is what we’ve stood for since 2008 in sport climbing – and even longer in professional sector. Uniting all our vertical solutions under one brand is the natural next step.” explains Kai Rinklake, CEO at SKYLOTEC. 

In a globally competitive market, synergy is key. SKYLOTEC’s corporate promise, “We get you there”, reflects this mission: empowering people to achieve their goals – whether on the job or on outdoor adventures.

FORGED IN THE ALPS
Forged in the Alps embodies a promise of manufacturing excellence, user-focused innovation, and the expertise of mountain professionals. From a strategic perspective, this integration underlines SKYLOTEC’s continued commitment to in-house production and European manufacturing. Significant investments have been made into the production site in Italy to enhance efficiency, expand capacity and position it for future growth. 

“SKYLOTEC has earned its reputation as a premium brand in the professional sector and is now driving its momentum into every field where height meets challenge”. Kai Rinklake explains: “For us, there is no distinction between ‘the sport climber’ and ‘the professional user’ – only people who share a passion for the unique fascination that challenges and experiences at height can offer. We are here for all of them.”
Starting in 2026, SKYLOTEC outdoor products will be available through leading retailers and B2B channels – delivering cutting-edge gear for unforgettable moments at height.
