The company was established in 1938 by Ruggiero Cortellino as Cortelgomma, a small workshop where shoes were manufactured using the tyres of military trucks for the soles and military uniforms for the uppers. The founder’s passion and enterprise let the small workshop turn into a company in few years, producing hundreds of pairs per day, distributed all over Italy.
In 1983 the company became COFRA which is now managed by Giuseppe Cortellino, the founder’s son, and the internationalization process has begun.
COFRA keeps on growing thanks to a wise and innovative management, which has led it to become a leader in the safety footwear market as well as a wellknown brand in Europe and all over the world.
Its constant commitment to quality was acknowledged in 1997 when COFRA was the first footwear manufacturer in Italy to obtain the UNI EN ISO 9001 Quality System Certificate.
Since 2004 diversification and product increase has started.
