1912

It was 1912 when Luigi Ciocca opened the hosiery factory that bears his name and is now run by the fourth generation of the family. The first important successes, seven years later, led the founder to move the company to Quinzano d'Oglio where an old blanket factory, now abandoned, was for sale. In 1929, at just eighteen years old, his son Giuseppe joined the company. Very young, he began to make his way and acquire the experience and skills that would allow him to take the reins of the family business after his father's premature death. Giuseppe Ciocca found himself in 1935 at the head of the hosiery factory, which he led with ability and determination, even during the difficult years of war and early post-war period. Under his leadership, sock production grew, thanks also to constant technological and stylistic research.

From 1950

Since the 1950s, Calzificio Ciocca has been a leading company in Italy for the production of wool, cotton, and many other fiber socks that guarantee a wide range of offerings capable of covering, with different brands, all market segments, from mass distribution to the luxury niche. It was 1991 when Giuseppe Ciocca passed the baton to his children, handing over a company that was among the first in Italy for sales network and product quality. The constant search for new materials and better technologies, the habit of reinvesting in cutting-edge machinery, the high level of professionalism, and the attention given to customers make Calzificio Ciocca increasingly competitive and recognizable in the market. The guidelines traced at the beginning of the century first by Luigi and then carried forward by Giuseppe are the driving force of this family business. The heirs have successfully combined history, organizational excellence, industrial traditions, and innovative capabilities. Today, the company has intensified its production in Italy, which reflects the know-how and values of the parent company, in addition to having part of the production abroad in different areas of the world.
