Trango World

Founded in 1928 by two friends, Narciso Hidalgo and Álvaro Artiach, Trangoworld (originally known as Sport Radio) began as an innovative venture into the world of sports and amateur radio stations in Zaragoza, Spain​​. Driven by a spirit of entrepreneurship and a love of nature, the duo expanded their offerings over time, importing materials from around the globe to create a diverse range of sports equipment, from canoes and skis to boxing gloves and motorcycle helmets​​.

The 1950s saw the evolution of the small sports shop into a full-fledged sports industry under the name Casa Artiach S.C., a testament to the founders' drive, innovation, and vision​. The company continued to grow in the 1960s, riding the wave of the emerging camping trend in Spain and expanding its facilities to produce a variety of camping, mountaineering, and nautical materials​​.

By the 1970s, Casa Artiach S.A. had become a leading company in the sector of camping and mountain gear in Spain, offering everything from hiking equipment and camping tents to inflatable boats​​. In the '80s, the company continued to dominate the market while innovating new product lines for outdoor activities, including self-inflating mattresses and technologically advanced mountaineering gear​​.

In the following years, the company's product lines were further refined, leading to the birth of the Trangoworld brand. Trangoworld introduced a new era of technical outdoor clothing and gear, distinguishing itself as the first Spanish company to completely equip for outdoor sports​​. This evolution saw a shift towards a more technical approach to product design, with the incorporation of leading-edge fabrics and materials like GORE-TEX and POLARTEC in the 1990s​.

The turn of the century brought further changes, as Trangoworld consolidated all product lines under a single brand, becoming a leader in the outdoor sports sector in Spain​​. Today, Trangoworld offers a comprehensive range of clothing, accessories, and materials for outdoor adventurers of all levels, from the occasional hiker to the expert mountaineer. The company's products are designed and developed with the same spirit of research, development, innovation, and experimentation (R+D+i+E) that has defined it for decades​​.

Embodying the ethos "Take the Other Way," Trangoworld is committed to charting its own course, choosing the path less traveled and constantly striving for innovation. Named after the formidable Trango Towers – two kilometers of elevation, seven thousand meters in height – the company is inspired by the challenge these peaks represent. Trangoworld believes in doing things differently, setting high goals, and continually improving through research and collaboration with suppliers and sports and adventure experts​​.

Throughout its history, Trangoworld has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to quality, innovation, and the spirit of outdoor adventure. With its wide range of products and deep roots in the outdoor sports industry, Trangoworld continues to inspire and equip outdoor enthusiasts around the world.
