Santini Maglificio Sportivo, whose modern headquarters are situated close to Bergamo, is a well established industry specialised in the design and the production of technical cycling wear. The passion for the bicycle and the constant contact with teams and riders led the founder, Pietro Santini and his staff to convert a small workshop into a leader group in its field.

In 1965 Pietro Santini founded the company thanks to his keenness on sport and to his experience carried on in the small jerseys workshop managed by his sisters. In a few years the company extended its activity by founding "Santini France" and "Santini Germany".

Prizes and awards followed very quickly. In 1983 the then Italian President of the Republic bestowed the knighthood on the founder. In 1987, the prestigious French sport magazine "L'Equipe", prized the company for its technical innovation and cycling fashion.

Since then the greatest champions have co-operated with the company and used its products worldwide. Presently Santini Maglificio Sportivo is the official supplier of some Cycling Federations, supplier and licenser of UCI World Cup, and all specialties of the World Championships' jerseys.

The restless production activity, which provides for the creation of two original collections every year, the supply to numerous Professional Teams, and the production of customized orders, is performed by a staff composed of more than 100 highly skilled people.

Santini Maglificio Sportivo has achieved much experience and it uses more and more technologically advanced machines in each stage of its production process. All that allows the research of the fabric, the study of the design, the creation of styles and the execution of several works.

The wide and full range of products is completely designed and created inside its numerous and well-working departments, reaching a daily standard production of more than 2000 pieces. The product is distributed all around the world.

The reasons for such success and the stimulus to continuous developments and improvements are based on the love for cycling and on the constant relationship with teams and champions who co-operate with the company, making tests on the new designs and models, and trying them out in the most engaging races. Their suggestions are the best help for each produced style to be able to bear the Santini brand fiercely.

In addition to the several innovations proposed during these years, Santini has recently created the revolutionary short padding called "Oltre Air System" which is Santini patented. It's an innovative product, which places this company at the top in the world cycling wear production for both professional riders and amateurs.
