Silca, originally established in 1917 by Felice Sacchi on the outskirts of Milan, Italy, has a rich history of pioneering achievements. From its early days, Silca has introduced groundbreaking advancements that have shaped the cycling industry.
It was the first company to incorporate gauges on pumps and in the aftermath of World War II, Silca embraced lightweight plastic, a revolutionary material at the time.
Silca also launched the industry’s first valve-controlled CO2 inflator, pushing the boundaries of functionality and convenience.
In 2013 the grandson of Felice Sacchi sold the company to Joshua Poertner and the following year, the company headquarters and manufacturing moved to Indianapolis in the USA.
