Technical Details

I acquired my C.A.M.P. Dissipatore from Eiselin Sport in 1997.

My C.A.M.P. Dissipatore is 45 mm. long, 97 mm. wide, 9 mm. thick, and weighs 57 g. The C.A.M.P. Dissipatore is a forged aluminum anchor brake. The upper five holes are each 11.2 mm. in diameter, the sixth 9.0 mm., and the two bottom eyes are 11.8 mm. each.

One side is stamped "CAMP ITALY."

Comments

The lack of a carabiner eye limits the usefulness of the C.A.M.P. Dissipatore.

History

Blacksmith Nicola Codega founded C.A.M.P. in 1889 to produce wrought-iron goods. The company first entered the climbing equipment business in 1920 when Nicola's son Antonio started making ice axes for the Italian Army Alpine Corps. The firm continued to grow and was handed down through the family.

From about 1950 through 1976, C.A.M.P. used a diamopnd-shaped logo bearing "D CN & FD CAMP" for "Ditta Cogenda Nicol;a & Figli De Cogedga Antonio Metilde Premana.

In 1968, C.A.M.P. entrusted Robert Charles Maillot and his firm Interalp to distribute C.A.M.P. products outside Italy. These products bore both C.A.M.P. and INTERALP logos. Their relationship continued until 1980.

C.A.M.P. changed its name to "Construzione Articoli Montagna Premana" in 1972.

In 1977 C.A.M.P. started using a new logo with "CAMP" inside a rounded rectangle above a mountian.

C.A.M.P. introduced a new wolfs-head logo in 1992.

C.A.M.P. acquired Cassin in 1997.

In 2003 C.A.M.P. again changed the company name, this time to "Concezione Articoli Montagna Premana, and changed their logo to CAMP in italics.

C.A.M.P. introduced another new logo in 2022.
