Nordica is an Italian manufacturing company of winter sports products, focusing on skiing. Based in Giavera del Montello, Nordica is currently a division of Tecnica Group, after it was acquired from Benetton in 2003.[2][3]
The current range of products include skis, boots, poles, and accessories such as sportswear, gloves, and bags.
History
In 1939, after years of experience as traders in hides, the brothers Adriano and Oddone Vaccari founded Nordica in Montebelluna, making casual footwear. In the after-war years Nordica specialised in ski boots, although continuing to supply the market with cross-country ski shoes and climbing boots. Work was still seasonal and the equipment manual.
In 1950 the Italian skier Zeno Colò gave his name to a Nordica ski boot and to a revolutionary lining designed by Colmar.
