History
Maresca S.r.l. has a long-standing experience in the pvc footwear and sanitary shoes manufacture sector thanks to the commitment and tradition of the Bellini family who has successfully lead the company for more than 70 years. Currently regarded as one of the most advanced and specialised companies in its field of business, Maresca was established in 1927 as a small, craftsman-like company focused on producing a small range of wooden clogs with leather vamp and velvet mules whose sole was made from old bicycle tyres.
From that moment onwards the company's philosophy was one of continuous improvement and unstoppable evolution. The first step along this path was taken in 1945, the year the company's shoes production was enhanced and diversified thanks to the birth of the "FB" brand: this brand comprised pvc rubber sandals for men and walking boots, women sandals and shoes with the typical "needlework" hand-sewn style.
From 1955 the company expanded beyond the Italian borders, all over the world with its first exports to European and Extra-European countries. The brand "CAMPER", established in 1960, represented the company's first step in the manufacturing of sporting shoes with directly injected vamp and polyurethane soles. The real change came in 1967, the launching year for the new footwear production line with the name "MARESCA", a new line of PVC footwear that includes sandals and boots for leisure, work, fishing and hunting, which stands out for its continuously changing line and care for the details.
In 1990 the sales management, which has always been focused on the market needs and requirements, decided to further diversify its production starting a new production of comfortable sanitary splippers and house mules with the brand "SANIFLEX". In the last years the company has started a parallel production line in Rumania, contemporary with the fourth generation of Bellini family's taking the helm of the company.
