MISSION

Design culture

Design capability represents a method positioned between “knowing” and “knowing how to do,” offering multi-layered solutions

Sammi Export promotes a design culture where design, functionality, and industrial, technological, and entrepreneurial aspects merge. It is a cross-disciplinary culture that blends creativity and productivity, aligned with the strategies and needs of demanding and discerning clients.

Since 1968, Sammi Export has been producing accessories and metal and plastic components for footwear and leather goods.

OUR VALUES

The quality and beauty of Sammi Export‘s footwear accessories have been celebrated with prestigious awards over the years.

In 2009, the company received the Excellence Award at the International Design Excellence Award and Top XII (arc DESIGN) at the Museum of Modern Art in São Paulo, Brazil. The Proxima trekking hook, produced by Sammi and designed by Davide Montanaro of Studiodsgn, was included in the prestigious ADI Design Index, the annual selection of the best Italian design products, allowing Sammi Export to be selected for the 20th Compasso D’Oro Award.

In 2017, Sammi Export received the prestigious Honorable Mention for the ADI Compasso D’Oro, for a new line of hooks developed in collaboration with Bertone Design.

We value relationships with our clients and partners, working together to achieve common goals. Our mission is to create sustainable products that not only meet but exceed market expectations.

Transparency and integrity are at the heart of all our collaborations.

Originally established as a company specializing in the manufacture of footwear accessories, over time, Sammi Export has developed the importance of design and its communication. Thanks to contributions from renowned designers, stylists, and industrial designers, including Giorgetto Giugiaro—named ‘Designer of the Century’ in Las Vegas and founder of Giugiaro Design, which signed Sammi’s historic collections—the company confirms itself as a leading international player and ideal partner.

Recently, the collaboration with the “Bertone Design” studio, another historic name in Italian design, has led to a collection that marked a further aesthetic and functional breakthrough in the world of metal components for footwear.

We believe in the importance of design as a distinctive element of our products, combining aesthetics and functionality to offer unique solutions that add value to your footwear. Each of our items always guarantees design excellence.

We are leaders in creating eco-sustainable products by adopting raw materials and production processes in line with the strictest directives, promoting economic development that respects the environment and local communities.

We maintain high ethical standards in all our operations, ensuring transparency and integrity in every aspect of our work. Our production of metal components is characterized by responsible management and a constant commitment to quality.

We are ready to respond quickly to market changes and the specific needs of our clients. We offer customized solutions that adapt to an ever-evolving environment, with a particular focus on innovative shoes and components for technical footwear.
