COMPANY HISTORY

SCARPA is a world-leading Italian manufacturer of mountain and outdoor footwear. Founded in 1938 in Asolo, in the province of Treviso, as Società Calzaturieri Asolani Riuniti Pedemontana Anonima (hence the acronym S.C.A.R.P.A.), today SCARPA has offices in Germany, the U.S. and China and factories in Romania and Serbia, while maintaining 60 percent of its production in Italy, in the heart of the footwear district of Veneto. SCARPA's leadership has been consolidated over time, especially in the disciplines of ski mountaineering and telemark, and then also established itself in climbing, hiking and trail running. But not only that. With models such as the iconic Mojito, SCARPA has opened a new path, that of the "urban outdoors": comfortable footwear suitable for any occasion, but which does not hide its adventurous soul. And it is precisely the desire to be outdoors, to go on adventures and explore that characterizes the spirit of SCARPA products. Extremely technical footwear of the highest quality, designed together with the best professional athletes, but also suitable for simple enthusiasts.

Indeed, characterizing the company's activities is a strong drive for innovation: every year SCARPA files 4 European patent applications, and invests nearly 5% of its turnover in research and development.

CORPORATE MISSION

SCARPA is a company that lives the mountains and nature every day: respect for the environment is a value that spontaneously, without forcing, is part of its DNA. Sustainability therefore is a value around which the company's entire activity revolves: from the energy supply of the factories to the production processes used, not forgetting the search for the most eco-friendly materials and methods. Starting from these foundations, SCARPA has recently launched the GREEN MANIFESTO, a programmatic commitment that enunciates the company's sustainable principles and concretizes them in new initiatives, aimed at aligning the activity with the best international standards.
