Commandotouwen Goeman’s strength
Quality
Although there is a wide range of climbing ropes available on the market, only a few are suitable for intensive use. That is where Commandotouwen Goeman wants to make a difference. Our quality is appreciated by the Belgian army, which has been using our products for more than 50 years.
The military subjected our ropes to many different tests (e.g. drop tests & abseiling). During these tests, it was our ropes that stood out. That is how we obtained the CE label.
We continue to focus on innovation and develop new types of rope, year after year. Safety and durability are core values in that process. We always keep the specific requirements and needs of professional users in mind.
