C.A.M.P.: The Brand’s Origins and History
The story of C.A.M.P. began in 1889 in Premana, in a small artistic metalworking workshop in the heart of the Italian Alps. Founded by Nicola Codega, the Italian company is based in the Lombardy Prealps. Passed down from generation to generation, each descendant brought their own innovations to the business: it was Antonio who, in 1920, created the brand’s first ice axes, originally intended for the Italian Alpine troops.
Did you know?
The acronym C.A.M.P. stands for Construction d'Articles de Montagne Premana, a name that says it all about the brand’s DNA: deep regional roots and an alpine spirit ingrained in its very essence since its inception.
The golden age of mountaineering saw C.A.M.P. form a partnership with Riccardo Cassin (1909–2009), an iconic figure in climbing who forged his own pitons. This fruitful collaboration led to numerous innovations, including the first ice axe with a metal shaft in 1969 and ultralight carabiners in 1987.
Product Development and Innovations at C.A.M.P.
The philosophy guiding the development of every C.A.M.P. product for over 135 years can be summed up in one phrase: create something special. Offer a solution different from what already exists, one that truly makes a difference in terms of performance, durability, and lightness.
Among the brand’s most notable achievements: the Cerro Torre ice axe, the first aluminum ice axe and a true technological breakthrough for mountaineering, followed by the Hummingbird ice axe and Footfang crampons.
