About us
From the mountain to the job. The same standard.
ESTEPA was born on a rock face, not in an office.
Our story
ESTEPA was born on a rock face, not in an office. We are Martín and Carlos, two mountain guides who from an early age, and for many years, devoted ourselves to climbing and alpinism. That is why we always understood the need for and value of technical gear and its certifications. We would never have clipped into a rope that was not certified, nor gone into a storm without the right clothing.
Years later, before founding ESTEPA, our experience on vertical terrain led us to reach the highest level of international certification for work at height: IRATA Level 3. Our experience in industry in Switzerland, where the highest safety and quality standards are not up for debate, opened our eyes. Today we want to bring those same safety and certification standards to Argentine industry.
We combine quality and international certification to meet the demands of our country's rugged environments as well as the most demanding shifts in an industrial plant.
About us
Pillars
Four decisions that shape how we choose every garment.
We trusted our lives to it before selling it
Five years of vertical work with IRATA Level 3 certification: we choose every garment from the side of the person who depends on it, not the one who ships it.
No discount on the standard
The same level of certification and testing the European industry demands, applied to what we offer here.
Risk first
Every product decision starts from the real hazard of the job: flash fire, electric arc, visibility, cold. Risk first, garment second.
Technical support
We advise companies and contractors before and after the purchase, including the documentation for homologation.
Welcome to ESTEPA. We know the risk. We know how to mitigate it.
