In 1830, Kong was founded by Giuseppe Bonaiti who manufactured Bonaiti protection devices for climbers in his workshop at the foot of the Italian Alps. In 1977 the company changed its name to Kong keeping the entire production cycle, from design to packaging, proudly local. This Made in Italy Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is tested individually on site at the factory then shipped around the world for sale. Kong’s mission remains to this day: to manufacture safety where risk is the protagonist.
