In 2011, Mammut obtained a sales volume of 210.8 million CHF. The company is world leader in terms of climbing ropes, together with German company Edelrid. Mammut has about 200 employees at its headquarters and runs many establishments all over the world. The central repository for Europe is in Memmingen, Germany, which has been expanded several times.

Toko

Founded by Jakob Tobler in 1916 in Altstätten, Switzerland as 'Tobler & Co.', the company originally produced household chemicals. In 1933 the name was abbreviated to Toko, concurrent with their first ski wax product. Changing hands several times, it was made part of Mammut in 2003.

Raichle

In April 2003, Mammut purchased Raichle, from Austrian owners Kneissl, although Raichle had originally been founded in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland.

While Raichle had been making boots for about 100 years, as of March 2009, former Raichle products are now marketed as Mammut.
