Cimalp is a French brand of sportswear and outdoor equipment founded in 1964.[1][2] In 2025, the company became the official supplier of the French Federation of Mountaineering and Climbing.[3][4]

History

Cimalp was founded in 1964 by Paul Sailler, a mountaineer from the Isère region. The brand introduced its first stretchable alpine pants in collaboration with Nemours textiles.[5][6]

In the 1970s, Cimalp became known for its stretch corduroy knickers, which were used in various expeditions. In 1991, Cimalp was acquired by Manufacture Drômoise de Confection, a company led by Raymond Marsanne at the time.[7] In 2008, Lionel Marsanne, Raymond Marsanne's son, took over the company.[2][8]

In 2016, Cimalp launched its first Trail team, featuring 12 athletes, including Marie Dorin-Habert and Muriel Hurtis.[9][10]

In early 2023, Cimalp announced plans to establish a new facility in Saint-Marcel-lès-Valence, Drôme.[11][12] The facility will house offices, a retail store, and a logistics center.[13][14]
