Marker – the world’s leading ski binding manufacturer Marker is currently the largest producer of ski bindings in the world. Its strong market position is the result of innovative engineering, constant attention to quality, and an ongoing mission to reduce skiing-related injuries. Back in 1952, ski instructor Hannes Marker, concerned about the high number of fractures among his students and inexperienced skiers, developed the first safety release bindings – revolutionizing ski binding production and laying the foundation for the Marker brand. Throughout its long history, Marker has repeatedly set new standards in binding design, significantly contributing to the advancement of skiing. One milestone was the development of the Rotamat binding – a lightweight model with release values that outperformed much heavier box-type bindings. The latest breakthrough from Marker engineers is the Xcell damper, a cutting-edge innovation that selectively reduces vibrations: it stiffens the binding during intense, short impulses (preventing unwanted releases), while allowing the boot to release gently when the force is injury-inducing. Revolutionary design thinking and a relentless drive for innovation have kept Marker at the top of the market for over 60 years. Discover what the brand’s creators have prepared for you this season.
