Pomoca

Pomoca was born out of the concern of the Dufou family. Louis Dufour, a hotelier from Avants, Switzerland, was the first to use skis in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. The family also organised skiing and tobogganing competitions for the prestigious hosts in Montreux, Switzerland. In the 1930s, Louis' son Éric, an engineer and avid ski touring enthusiast, developed and marketed a canvas rescue sled. Thanks to its skis and poles, the "Gaillard-Dufour" sledge was able to transport injured people Together with his father, Éric developed the production of anti-slip seal skins , and later adhesive skins, as well as many other mountain accessories. Around 1941, the Dufour company successfully launched the production of rubber soles for city and mountain shoes. For more than 80 years, thanks to the quality of its products and technological innovations, the Swiss brand Pomoca has established itself as the undisputed world specialist in climbing skins.
