Kong ITALY was formed in 1977 but its manufacturing tradition dates back to 1830 when Giuseppe Bonaiti began building snaplinks on the shores of Lake Como in Northern Italy. Today Kong manufactures some of the world’s best climbing, safety, and rescue equipment in a modern factory in Monte Marenzo, Italy. The company is managed by a sixth generation Bonaiti.
The Kong warehouse in Bristol, Rhode Island is the primary source for Kong products designed for high-angle climbing, work-on-height and technical rescue.
