Born with shoes.
A century of family expertise in shoemaking.
Since 1911, the Sartori
family has been creating shoes that walk towards the future.
We are an international group specializing in the design, production, and distribution of footwear.
Above all, we are the story of Italian family entrepreneurship that’s worth telling. A story that began long ago but is more alive than ever—thanks to a new generation of designers and managers who combine creativity, industrial experience, and direct oversight to deliver tailored solutions to clients around the world.
Thirty years ago, we were among the first to begin overseas production—well ahead of the market. From there, a path of steady growth has led us to cover the entire footwear value chain, from concept to finished product, thanks to the synergy between Italian management and our twin structure in China.
The Sartori family’s entrepreneurial journey in footwear began in 1911, with the launch of a pioneering factory in the Verona area. Dedication, courage, and commercial instinct allowed this manufacturing expertise to grow, adapt, and evolve into what it is today.
In 2014, Sergio Sartori founded Sport Design in Italy and Sport Commerce Ltd in China - creating a powerful synergy to design and manufacture custom footwear collections while upholding high Italian quality standards.
In 2017, Sergio Sartori, together with his sons Mattia, Andrea, and Luca, founded Sport Commerce Italia Srl to directly manage the distribution of licensed brands.
From 2020 onwards, the company began acquiring proprietary brands to increase margins and further consolidate its business.
