The story of Maritan’s factory shoe began in 1993, when Giancarlo, with the support of his son Gabriele and his wife
Carlina, decided to take advantage of his consolidated commercial and technical skills to give rise to a famillyconduction
business. The origins of Giancarlo Maritan are tightly related to the shoe industry of the so-called ‘Riviera del Brenta’, a leading
land of shoe-production. In this stimulating framework, Giancarlo improved his know-how, having the possibility to
see in person the capabilities of local artisans, who daily produce high-quality shoes.
In light of his previous 20 years working experience, he decided to found his factory shoe in the zone around Villafranca and in following years he opened new production plants in Romania and Moldova. Since that period, the company has exponentially evolved, achieving the top level in the production and marketing of shoes for man and woman. In the last years, Giancarlo’s daughter Katia has been joining the company, mainly dealing with the company marketing and the commercial field.
