Founded in LaFayette, GA in 1976, PMI manufactures life safety rope and related gear. We manufacture our rope and many other products in our facility in LaFayette, GA. Our ropes and gear are used by firefighters, first responders, rescue teams, rope technicians, cavers, and climbers worldwide.
PMI is focused on outperforming expectations in equipment, knowledge and expertise for the most demanding rope technicians serving the world at height. PMI ropes and equipment are built and independently certified to applicable national and internationally recognized standards, and for added confidence our own quality assurance program is registered to ISO 9001 Quality Registration. Customers and employees who use PMI gear provide the foundation for our product development so that our rope and gear become practical solutions.
PMI's commitment to providing high quality rope at reasonable prices has remained steady. As a company of rope users - climbers, cavers, and rescuers - we have good reason to hold the people who use our rope in high esteem. By understanding the needs of the rope user, PMI has been able to help define and drive the quality and production of life safety ropes that meet the needs of those who use them.
PMI contributes major support toward the development of consensus standards of the Cordage Institute, NFPA, ANSI, ASTM, and others. We also work very hard to maintain familiarity with OSHA and other regulations, and are engaged in safety programs with trade organizations and industry groups such as the Society of Professional Rope Access Technicians, National Association of Tower Erectors, and the National Association for Search and Rescue.
In addition to life safety ropes, PMI also manufactures or distributes webbing, cordage, lanyards, harnesses, helmets, gloves, solutions, kits, litters and accessories, rope bags, training tools, and rope related hardware.
