For over a century, Wichard has been dedicated to providing its customers with quality products that prioritize safety and optimal performance for both sports and professional activities. Established in 1919 in Thiers by Henri Wichard, the company initially focused on manufacturing forged safety components for industrial use. In the early 1970s, Wichard made a significant shift by collaborating with renowned sailors of the era, such as Moitessier, Tabarly, and Alain Colas, to develop its inaugural line of boat fittings, all while maintaining its robust industrial operations.
Half a century later, the Wichard brand has been a steadfast companion to generations of sailors worldwide. Today, Wichard products are installed by all major shipyards, trusted by the most discerning sailors, and distributed across five continents through a comprehensive global network. Opting for a Wichard product signifies a commitment to quality, ensuring safety and performance throughout one's voyages.
