Pomoca: progress since 1933

The DUFOUR family has always been ambitious and innovative. They have always been keenly interested in tourism and winter sports. Starting out as a hotel owner, father Louis DUFOUR pioneered the use of skiing in the Suisse Normande region, as well as the organization of competitions.

Things changed in 1933, when his son Eric, an engineer, designed a canvas rescue sled that could be used to transport injured people on skis. This led to the creation of Louis Dufour & fils, renamed Pomoca in 1937, which initially marketed sporting goods and non-slip skins for skis.

In 1970, the company moved up a gear with the creation of self-adhesive skins. Son Guy, who took over the company in 1988, also brought all his knowledge of the field to bear, considerably increasing the watertightness of the products. It is this technique, this constant evolution and the many technological innovations that have made Pomoca a world leader in its field to this day.

Pomoca Track Your Skin

To promote eco-responsibility and transparency, Pomoca has been running a number of environmental programs for several years, including waste reduction, the creation of fluorine-free skins, and the "Track Your Skin" program . Using the serial number on each product, this program enables you to trace and discover the skin's creation process. Who created it? How was it created? All questions that many people ask themselves, but which are rarely revealed by companies.

It's a very interesting initiative, in total harmony with our eco-friendly universe, which is why we're offering you a selection of their best products.

However, there are other notable brands you might want to consider when looking for suitable equipment: Black Crows and Colltex. Each offers a variety of options that can complement your mountain experience, but nothing rivals the commitment and expertise that Pomoca offers in this specific field.
