Our services for wholesalers include product range concepts, product range analyses, POS design, merchandising, EDI connections, stock management, product training, direct deliveries and deliveries to central warehouses.

mamutec’s Paraloc technology is an absolute revolution in the rope-making world. The patented parallel-braiding process directly interlocks the cover and the core. The braided core and cover fibres give the rope significantly higher form stability, thus helping to considerably improve its properties:
- No sheath slippage
- Increased abrasion and chafe resistance
- A dense surface
- Interlocked core and surface fibres
- A stable form and controlled distribution of forces
We manufacture our range of straps in our own European factory in accordance with the latest regulations, standards and guidelines. Our long-standing comprehensive expertise and our state-of-the-art production and testing facilities stand for maximum safety and quality. Our straps are extremely abrasion resistant and therefore very durable. Our product range contains more than 120 different straps, from small cam buckle straps right through to two-piece straps for loads of up to ten tons. When it comes to straps, mamutec AG is your ideal partner.
This highly elastic bungee cord has multiple openings (every 5cm) and can therefore be universally adjusted. Its individual elements can be combined to form a spider-like net to secure loads. The cord’s plasticised metal hooks can be flexibly positioned, thus ensuring simple and secure use of LOADFIX. The material is UV-stabilised and comprised of a core made of rubber threads and a cover made of durable polypropylene. This practical item is available in a variety of colours.

THE HISTORY OF MAMUTEC AG
mamutec AG, the leading Swiss company for textile narrow band and rope technology, can look back on more than 150 years of experience in the development and production of ropes, cords and straps.
The company was founded as a rope manufacturer by Kaspar Tanner in the Swiss canton of Aargau back in 1862. In 1919, the rapidly growing ropery was renamed Seilerwarenfabrik AG and moved to the Swiss town of Lenzburg.
At the time, its ropes were mainly manufactured for agricultural purposes. In the 1950s, however, Tanner also established a range of sports products comprised of synthetic ropes for use in alpinism and, for example, sheet ropes for sailing. In 1955, the company launched “Mammut”, an alpine rope that quickly advanced to become its top revenue-generating product. In 1972, it also started to add sleeping bags, tents and clothing to its product range.
The company’s activities over the decades that followed included the acquisition and incorporation of a ribbon weaving mill. As part of the former AROVA Group, the company was renamed AROVA Lenzburg AG in 1968 and Arova-Mammut AG in 1984. In 1992, the public limited company (Aktiengesellschaft– AG) relocated its headquarters to the Swiss town of Seon.
In March 2000, its original focus, the “Rope and Lifting Technology” department, was established in Switzerland and Europe as an independent company with the name mamutec AG, a supplier to and partner of the specialist trade. Just one year later, mamutec AG opened its subsidiary mamutec Hungary Kft. in the Hungarian town of Gyomaendrőd.
mamutec AG has been part of the Ullmann Group in the Swiss city of St Gall with production locations in Switzerland, Germany and Hungary since 2008. A year later, mamutec AG also relocated its headquarters to St Gall.
