Marker

Since MARKER was founded in 1952 by Hannes Marker, the traditional Bavarian company has developed into one of the most successful and influential binding manufacturers in the world. Today, skiing is a popular sport – a development in which our founder Hannes Marker played a key role...


In 1952, when the sporting goods trade fair in Wiesbaden, Germany, opened its doors to the world, nobody could have imagined that an ambitious ski instructor from faraway Garmisch, Germany, would become the center of attention and fundamentally change the world of skiing. Hannes Marker presented his MARKER Duplex, the world's first ski binding with a releasing toe, on three square meters of exhibition space and a chair. Today, we are one of the most influential and successful sports brands in the world.
