THE R&D MINUTE
A COMMITMENT TO "MADE IN FRANCE"
Committed to the revaluation of French expertise, Samaya has inaugurated 100% "Made in France" production lines at its workshop located in Annecy, in the heart of the French Alps.
Ghislain Pipers, CEO of Samaya and a former high-level competitive climber, was introduced to climbing by his parents at a very young age. High-level sports structured his mindset and way of life from an early age. Out of passion, he decided to dedicate every second of his time to a well-defined goal: athletic performance. Rigor, organization, and tenacity then became his daily watchwords. Today, he channels that same intensity and passion into his work, particularly in the development of CLIMBING equipment, which includes the Samaya BELAY20, Samaya CHALK_001, and Samaya WALLSEAT_001.
Ghislain Pipers' values form the foundation of our commitments to quality, innovation, and French expertise, which permeate our entire "Made in France" approach. Located in the heart of the Alps in Annecy, our workshop embodies this vision and our quest for excellence in every product we create.
Climbing is a demanding discipline that requires both strength and endurance, as well as comfort and safety. These elements form the guiding principle adopted by the Samaya workshop, which combines the use of modern technologies with innovative materials to meet the expectations of the most demanding climbers. Each product is the result of meticulous work, where every step of the manufacturing process is scrupulously checked to ensure the quality of the equipment.
Developed in close collaboration with our athletes, the Samaya BELAY20 is the ideal companion for multi-pitch climbers. This gear bag, designed to be robust and practical, allows you to carry all the necessary equipment in an organized and accessible way. Handcrafted with special attention to detail, every Samaya BELAY20 testifies to our commitment to offering durable and resilient equipment.
The chalk bag, an essential accessory for any climber, is also part of our "Made in France" initiative. Our Samaya CHALK_001 is eco-designed from material scraps left over from tent manufacturing. Our workshop ensures that every detail, from the fabric to the drawstring, meets a triple requirement of quality, durability, and performance.
The Samaya WALLSEAT_001, our Dyneema® big wall seat, is entirely assembled by hand in our workshop. Each seam, each finish, and each detail reflects our expertise and our dedication to designing equipment that climbers can rely on during technical and vertical ascents. Weighing only 55 grams, the Samaya WALLSEAT_001 offers climbers the ability to rest with complete peace of mind, allowing them to tackle the next pitches with renewed energy.
These products testify to our commitment to Made in France, a guarantee of quality and longevity, where every step of the process is strictly monitored. This desire to revalue French expertise radiates throughout the workshop and is also expressed through our repair service, which extends the life of your equipment.
