SILCA was founded in 1917 by Felicia Sacchi near Milan, Italy. The company rapidly innovated and grew by being the first company to put pressure gauges on pumps, the first company to produce a true "high pressure" frame pump, the first company to work with revolutionary lightweight plastic after the end of World War II.
Recently, the company was the first to come up with a valve-controlled CO2 inflatable pump and, with some irony, the first to abandon plastic and return to wooden handles. Along the way, the company's ideals have become deeply rooted in a combination of durable materials, traditional craftsmanship and innovation. It is no coincidence that so many SILCA pumps from the 1960s and 1970s are still in use today, and it is no coincidence that we still sell spare parts for these pumps.
