Doppelmayr is joining SwissCham

2002 saw the merger of two leading ropeway manufacturers with a long tradition: Doppelmayr and Garaventa. This gave rise to the Doppelmayr/Garaventa Group with its main plants in Wolfurt (AUT) a Goldau (CHE) as global competence centers for circulating ropeway systems such as gondolas and chairlifts as well as reversible aerial tramways and funicular railways. It is here that the technology which has earned these two companies a worldwide reputation is designed and engineered.

Since the beginnings of both companies over a century ago, the Group has become the epitome of technical reliability and innovative strength, and has been instrumental in shaping the ropeway industry. Doppelmayr and Garaventa have played a major role in technical advances and achieved many milestones which have contributed to the breathtaking pace of development in this field.

The Doppelmayr/Garaventa Group

Today, the Doppelmayr and Garaventa brands stand for top quality and uncompromising reliability. Installations designed precisely to accommodate the customer’s wishes and pioneering innovations in ropeway construction sum up the corporate philosophy. The Group operates production plants as well as sales and service centers in over 42 countries worldwide and has installed over 14,800 ropeway systems to date for customers in 91 nations worldwide.
