POMA Beijing, a market leader

In 1987, POMA embarked on a project in China to construct a gondola lift for the Great Wall. China is a country engaged in developing remarkable projects for tourist sites and ski resorts. As a pioneer, the POMA Group decided in 2007 to create POMA Beijing and set up long-term operations in China to meet customer expectations.

POMA Beijing encompasses all sales, administration, assembly and after-sales service activities for POMA systems.

BACO AG

Ropeway transport in Switzerland
BACO

From the first surface lifts to POMA ropeways

 

In 1957, BACO AG was already producing surface lifts and chairlifts in the heart of the Swiss Alps, using in particular the patented BACO turn tower. 20 years later, when the first POMA 6-seater gondola lift was installed in Switzerland, the two companies came together and BACO AG became a POMA subsidiary.

Today, BACO AG markets and manufactures new POMA installations for ski resorts and tourist sites in Switzerland.

An expert team ensures the maintenance of the installations of BACO, POMA and the HTI Group, that is, nearly 280 ropeway transport systems throughout Switzerland, serving ropeway operators in order to guarantee safety and availability throughout the life cycle of the devices.

Activities

BACO

Development of ropeways in Switzerland

After joining POMA in 1987, BACO, a ropeway manufacturer, builds on the Group's technological solutions and no longer manufactures ropeways. BACO now represents, markets and sets up new POMA ropeway transport installations.

 

Spare parts and maintenance

Given its proximity, BACO provides servicing, overhaul and maintenance for BACO, POMA and HTI Group devices throughout Switzerland. It also undertakes more extensive renovation projects, such as replacing the electrical part of a complete system by SEMER.

Régis Dessimoz, qui en était le président, paraplégique est aussi membre d'une équipe de curling en fauteuils roulants à Sion (Valais), « les Rollators ». En soutenant son équipe, BACO crée le lien entre ses activités de commercialisation de système de transport par câble POMA et celles d'équipements pour PMR.

Iconic projects

Diablerets Express

In French-speaking Switzerland, customer and operator comfort was the primary focus of the Diablerets station restructuring project. The eponymous gondola lift therefore replaces a chairlift to enhance skier comfort, and is equipped with a SmartBoard control console to ensure optimum operator comfort.

POMA COLOMBIA

POMA’s subsidiary in South America
POMA Colombia

From the first devices in the Andes to the development of urban ropeway transport

The history of POMA in Latin America began in the 1960s in the ski areas of the Andes. For years, POMA promoted the development of Andean stations, even as urban ropeway transport was beginning to emerge as a promising solution. The pioneering Medellin Metro paved the way in 2004 with the construction of line K, the start of a long, enriching collaboration with POMA in Colombia.

 

In 2013, POMA established itself for the long-term by setting up its subsidiary POMA Colombia, with its head office in Medellin.

 

POMA Colombia is consolidating its local presence in close proximity to its Colombian and Latin American customers and is crossing a milestone: as an equipment supplier, it now offers comprehensive solutions.

The close relationship we have forged with customers is a strength. We are by their side to guide them towards ever more innovative and sustainable solutions and this strong connection we have established contributes to the sustainability of our activities throughout Latin America. One of the challenges for the coming years will be to further digitise our processes, to offer ever greater security and availability. This is one of our commitments.

Manager of the POMA Colombia

Renaud Gorria
POMA Colombia

I was fortunate to be part of the creation and development of the POMA Colombia subsidiary, of which I was in charge for 7 years. With the construction of a dozen major new projects, and a marked increase in service activities, POMA Colombia has greatly contributed to the development of our activities in South America. We were also pioneers in structuring a committed CSR approach, driven by a very strong local movement here in Colombia. Propelled by the success of a management model for the operations and maintenance of our ropeway transport devices, other subsidiaries and structures have emerged in recent years, such as Telecabinas Kuelap in Peru or POMA RD in the Dominican Republic.
