A VERY LONG EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE IN THE FIELD Our history speaks for itself: we have been producing footwear since 1938! GREAT KNOWLEDGE OF THE MARKET We continuosly analyze the market with its different needs and major trends. Each and every sector has its own set of hazards. We always start from this point to develop the right product and the result is the widest selection of Special Purpose Products able to give answers even to very small market niches (see our section “SPECIALS” on our website). EVERY MARKET IS PECULIAR FOR US Markets are different and we are fully aware of that. This is why, if we refer to the Middle East area, we have been developing products for different industries and equipped with technical features expressly required by these markets. ATTRACTIVE LOOK “MADE IN ITALY” We are an Italian company and our footwear, especially those belonging to our extremely wide “safety sports segment”, clearly show their Italian soul. FULL CONTROL OF THE WHOLE PRODUCTION PROCESS We pay great attention from the selection of the raw materials to the finished product in all our three production facilities. Two internal laboratories, both chemical and physical, give us the possibility to make continuous tests all along the process to make sure that the output is always in line with our quality standards and, of course, with what the market expects from us. 3% OF OUR YEARLY TURNOVER IS INVESTED IN R&D Advanced production processes and tecnologies help us to create high performing products. We are particularly proud about our injection system for the production of our sole units where we have developed polyurethane special compounds which can be adapted to very different working environments. MAXIMUM RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT GREEN ENERGY Since 2011 COFRA has been producing green energy thanks to a photovoltaic system. Total area: 10.000 m². It covers the 60% of the company’s annual energy demand. RECOVERY OF PRODUCTION WASTES Since the 80s COFRA has recycled the waste of thermoplastic materials used for the production of soles. Starting from 2012, a new activity of recovery and reuse of production wastes of soles has begun. In collaboration with partners and suppliers who have expressed sensibility for the environmental issue, after a phase of feasibility study and experimentation, this recovery activity has now been fully implemented. An important chemical-physical-technological development has led to the creation of a new formulation of materials for soles, which not only uses the total recovery of the sole material wastes, but it also allows the re-use of a good amount of thermosetting material, by nature, much less suitable to be recovered. This process has been naturally entered into the production processes granting a constant recovery of an increasing quantity of wastes deriving from the injection of soles.
