Sidi Sport is based in Maser (Treviso), the heart of the Montebelluna sports footwear industrial district.

The overall outlay of Euro 86 million consists of a net payment by Italmobiliare of Euro 53.5 million with the rest of the funds (Euro 32.5 million) borrowed from Banco BPM.

Founded in 1960 by Dino Signori, Sidi established itself as one of the industry leaders by combining tradition and innovation, performance and design, advancing the frontier of sports footwear development and creating cult models such as Shot 2 shoes for cycling and Crossfire boots for motorcycling. In more than sixty years of history, Sidi shoes and boots have trodden the podiums of all the major international sporting events. From Joel Robert, through Giacomo Agostini, Stefan Everts, Loris Capirossi, up to nine-time world champion Tony Cairoli, the Maser company has written indelible pages in motorcycling. The cycling champions of the Sidi team are also very numerous, among them the Italian legends Francesco Moser and Paolo Bettini, the Tokyo 2020 Olympic gold medalist Richard Carapaz and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, who entered history as the winner of the first edition of the Women's Gravel World Championship in 2022 with four gold medals in four different specialities.

With this acquisition, Italmobiliare continues on its path of supporting and accompanying the industrial excellences of our country. "Sidi means excellent professionals, products of the highest quality, a winning brand that is much appreciated and a sector that is starting to show very interesting growth rates again thanks to an ever wider audience of enthusiasts and practitioners - points out Carlo Pesenti, Chief Executive Officer of Italmobiliare. These are the factors that Italmobiliare aims to enhance globally through sustainable growth based on the creation of value over time. As an entrepreneur and a lover of the world of two wheels, I know the value of tradition and the identity of a brand that has a very strong link with the world of sport and those who practise it, by profession or by passion, and which represents another extraordinary example of the quality of products Made in Italy."
