History

Diadora is the only Italian athletic footwear and apparel manufacturer to still make some of its products in Italy, a tradition that began in 1948 when the company's founder, Marcello Danieli, first began working in the trade as a young boy.

Danieli, helped by his wife, managed to successfully launch his first product, mountain climbing boots. During the fifties, a reputation for excellence and quality helped the company grow and become a familiar name throughout the Italian market. An open crevasse. ...

During the economic boom of the sixties, people began to enjoy prosperity and increased recreation. Skiing became popular and Danieli once again met the needs of the market by manufacturing ski boots and the first apres-ski boots. Cross-country skiing (skating style) in Einsiedeln, Switzerland. ...

Next, Diadora introduced running shoes and shortly thereafter, tennis shoes. With the seventies came a young generation whose explosive interest in athletics initiated a boom in the sporting goods industry. Based originally on the renowned Italian artisan techniques, Diadora's shoes became more and more technologically advanced, thanks to cooperation from champions such as Guillermo Vilas, Martin Mulligan, and the legendary Björn Borg.

The mid-seventies also marked Diadora's entry into the football category, aided by Roberto Bettega, who provided invaluable consulting information.

Roberto Bettega (born December 27, 1950 in Turin) was an Italian footballer and arguably one of the greatest to ever put on the Juventus shirt. ...

On June 30, 1998, Invicta, an outdoor athletics equipment company was acquired by Diadora.

In 2008 Diadora SpA signed a joint venture with Win Hanverky Holdings Limited forming a new company called Winor International Company Limited that owns the trademark "DIADORA" in China, Hong Kong and Macau and will manufacture, design, promote, distribute and sell products bearing the "DIADORA" in those countries.^[1]
