- Today Kong S.p.A. manufactures some of the world’s best climbing, safety and rescue equipment in its modern factory in Monte Marenzo just south of Lecco. The company is managed by a sixth generation Bonaiti. 95% of all Kong products are manufactured inside the Kong factory.
- With an innovative approach that characterizes KONG comes the Frog, a revolutionary directional connector with an automatic clamping action that engages when it touches the anchor point.
- Produced after an intensive design phase in collaboration with Politecnico of Milan, the Frog is a totally new connector, both in its appearance and mechanism.
- Frog makes the concept of a carabiner thought of as a “hook” obsolete.
- The insertion is extraordinarily quick and safe, even in “distant” anchor points, not easily reached with standard connectors.
