While some people like to stay grounded, Petzl is only concerned with exploring the vertical world. Petzl’s story began in the early 1930s and throughout its long history, the company evolved from focusing on caving gear to becoming one of the world’s most renowned providers of verticality equipment for professional and recreational use. Currently, Petzl covers a wide range of recreational sports including sport climbing, ice climbing, aid climbing, mountaineering, caving, canyoning and more. Beyond their recreational gear, Petzl creates life-saving products for rescue professionals and workers at height.
Diehard festival goers are a unique demographic comprised of everyone from old-school music devotees all the way to fist-bumping millennials. Take one walk around a festival like Lollapalooza and you’ll see a wide range of faces, each with their own unique personalities, interests and characteristics. As entertainment professionals, it’s our job to understand this audience and how to cater to them, and only them—after all, it’s their loyalty that keeps us in business.
Thankfully, we live in the age of big data. This data is complex, with millions of data points provided, making it challenging to connect the dots and make vital decisions. If managed correctly, however, the reward is success, sold out crowds and the opportunity to host our events for yet another year.
We’re proud to announce the MTN BOX®: Spektrum Series Road Cases have been nominated for the prestigious 2016 Parnelli Award in Indispensable Staging Technology.
Our team has worked hard to perfect the MTN BOX design over the years through our in-house engineering department, and our Spektrum Series Road Cases have taken the industry by storm. Instead of treating the MTN BOX as just another road case, we knew the potential benefits and long-term positive changes this product could offer to the entertainment, industrial, and construction industries as well as other markets outside of production.

One of Mountain Productions’ most loyal and experienced team members knows the value of longevity. On June 13, 1984, Ronald “Wilky” Wilkinson was offered a two week job by Steve Thomas that sparked a lifelong career.
This “two week” stint ended up occupying Wilky’s time until Thanksgiving and, in February of 1985, he was invited to the first ever CM Hoist School hosted by Mountain Productions. It was then that he was offered and accepted a full-time position within the growing company.
