Who are we?
1997. The adventure begins. The Quechua brand is created and the name is registered. The first team members are recruited and these pioneers set up their base in Sallanches (in just three rooms) to develop and test products. Less than one year later, Quechua marketed its first branded products.
1999. Quechua international head office opens in Domancy. Quechua moves to the foot of Mont Blanc. With this location, the International Campus is close to the mountain environment, and to mountain sports users. The Campus is designed to be a laboratory, and houses design and management teams, as well as a brand showcase store.
2002. First technical partnerships. Quechua bags big names from the world of mountain sports. The Quechua-Les Arcs trail team was to become raid world champion in 2005. Olympic champion Karine Ruby signed up for winter sports. They brought their expertise into our product design, leading to innovation and greater quality.
2003. Affirmation of the brand. Quechua is now in the top 10 global mountain sports brands (with comparable activity), just 6 years after its foundation. At this same time, the Quechua design team and engineering and prototype offices are extended.
2007. Ten years of success. From Quechua, came Wed'ze, a winter sports brand. Now the Quechua brand is the only one with an offer in hiking, mountaineering, climbing, raid-trail and nordic sports segments. It moved to 5th place in global sales rankings. The Domancy site is now home to close to 200 people.
