Presentation of Aventure Verticale

What does the logo and mean?

All the activities, for which Aventure Verticale (or AV) manufactures equipment, are linked to the notion of adventure: to discover, to explore, to surpass oneself, to meet challenges. This adventure is lived through vertical height in climbing, caving, canyoning and work, as well as in high rise work.

The A and the V, which form two reversed symbols, represent both the mountain to be climbed and the canyon to descend, as well as the depths of the earth to be explored.

Background

The current managing director, Gérald Huet, began this adventure in association with two of his friends, Bernard Voulourd and Olivier Cousseau, founders in 1987 of the company TMS (Technique Mountain Speleology). He then participated in the manufacture of the Aphanicé feet blocker, the PICASTEL nylon suit and the wide volume UKERDI 6000 tent. From 1990, he worked on the development of the EMS brand (Climbing, Mountain and Caving) as manager of the site. In September 1998, he participated in the creation of the brand and the AV range.

Aventure Verticale, the manufacturing brand of sport and safety equipment, saw the light of day as part of the Airache Production subcontracting company via the creation of a sport area.

At the beginning of November 2003, following the take over of that area by some of the employees, Aventure Verticale LLC was created. Gérald Huet became the major shareholder and owner of this registered trademark.
