Pomagalski

Pomagalski, also known as Pomagalski SA, is a manufacturer and designer of ropeways and mountain-transport systems. The company specializes in ski lifts and related infrastructure, including chairlifts, gondola lifts, surface lifts, aerial tramways, and their supporting equipment. It has been a notable contributor to the development and international deployment of modern alpine transport solutions.

The company was founded by Jean Pomagalski, an innovator in ski-lift technology, in the early to mid-20th century in the French Alps. Through the years, Pomagalski developed and refined lift concepts that helped standardize and accelerate the spread of ropeways, enabling ski resorts to expand access and capacity.

Throughout its history, Pomagalski expanded its operations and installed lifts at resorts across Europe, North America, Asia, and other regions. Its engineering emphasis included safety, reliability, and efficiency, aligning with the growing demands of expanding winter tourism and the modernization of mountain transport.

In later decades, Pomagalski became part of the Poma group, with its designs and expertise integrated into the broader company. The Pomagalski name remains associated with the lineage of lift technology within the Poma portfolio, and numerous installations worldwide reflect its legacy in the ski-lift industry.
