Products include tents, backpacks, and sleeping bags. There are 486 employees working in the head office in Germany. The corporate group also owns production facilities in Bỉm Sơn, Vietnam. In 2006, Edelrid became a part of the Vaude Group. The brands Lucky (climbing supplies) and Markill (camping stoves) were integrated in the Edelrid brand in 2008. Markill was originally a brand of the company Marsteller & Killman founded in Thuringia in 1866 and established in Kettwig in 1907. Marsteller & Killman produced stoves, cooking utensils, food containers, and aluminum bottles. In 2017, the Vaude Group took over Red Chili, a producer mainly of climbing shoes and other climbing garments. Red Chili is now part of Edelrid. VAUDE is the official outfitter of the climbing association German Alpine Club since 2002.
