To the best of my knowledge, Trestec are a big manufacturer whose stuff then gets rebranded and sold by other companies. I'm pretty sure they used to make ropes for Beal, and maybe Petzl for a while too.

I've got their 9.9 80m and given it a good thrashing over the last 3 years. Despite heaps of sports climbing I've only had to cut a little bit of it off, though it's probably due for retirement. I've also got their 8.5 doubles and no issues so far, though only had them for a few months.

What I've found with their ropes is that the sheathes fuzz up really quickly. Way quicker than mates' ropes that I've used. Not ratty old climbing gym type fuzzy rope, but just enough that they're clearly not new. Work just fine though, and the core seems plenty durable for all the abuse my sports climbing rope has been through.
