AT THE SERVICE OF ATHLETES
FOR OVER 30 YEARS

With an eye to the past, then to the experience and the paternal tradition, and one to the future, in the 80s, the roaring decade of shoulder pads and cotton hair, thanks to new investments the ACCAPI brand – acronym of High Performance – which specialized in the production of technical socks for every sport, in the name of the most rigorous talent made in Italy.

In the 90s, that decade crushed between the end of the light and carefree years just ended and the desire, almost frenetic, to discover the imaginary l 2000, protagonist of fantasies and science fiction, Accapi began to develop new original patents, consolidating its presence first in the Italian market and, later, in the foreign market.

Panta Rei, everything flows, said the Greek Heraclitus, to symbolize the flow of time, the becoming: those who stop are lost. And Accapi, in the future that has now become present, the year 2000 coveted and imagined in a thousand different ways, did not stop and, indeed, even decided to diversify the offer, adding to the production of socks a line of technical underwear for men, women, child.

Every story worth hearing ends with the words “and they lived happily ever after”. What we have told you, which is the story of a typical Italian family business, which since the late 90s uses the professionalism of Cristina, and that in the next decade also greeted the entry of Nicolò, to represent the new generation Chiaruttini, is an exception. The final point has not yet been put, the new future is ready to become more than ever present: the most suitable words to conclude the story of Chiaruttini and Accapi are to be continued.
