Ann and Roy Holubar founded Holubar in 1946. Their main focus was on down sleeping bags and clothing, but they included pitons among their first products. Holubar became one of the best known brands of outerwear of America for general city use. In 1968, the Holubars decided to sell the business and in the ‘80s the brand virtually disappeared from the market.

The block letter HOLUBAR pitons were made from tool steel by blacksmith Bob Bruning, a non-climber. ​ A more elaborate cursive stamp represented a collaboration between Holubar and Stubai.
