<h2>About Sparco</h2>

<p>Sparco S.p.A. is an Italian auto part and accessory company headquartered in Volpiano near Turin that specializes in producing <a href="https://droppe.com/nl-en/products/category/c_safety-equipment/c_fall-arrest-harnesses">items such as seats, steering wheels, harnesses</a>, <a href="https://droppe.com/nl-en/products/category/c_safety-equipment/c_helmets">racewear and helmets</a>. The company was founded in 1977 in Italy and today the ownership is still Italian; the company is one of the leading manufacturers of racing safety equipment. Sparco's history started in Turin, Italy, in 1977. Two motorsport fans, Enrico Glorioso and Antonio Parisi, created the business.</p>

<p>SPARCO was born in 1977 from the dream of three young Italian drivers who decided to make the world of Motorsport a safer place. In 1977, FIA decided to restrict their safety standards, in order to decrease injuries during races: the first product that brought fame to Sparco, was <a href="https://droppe.com/nl-en/products/category/c_clothing/c_coveralls">a fireproof racing suit</a>, that could withstand 11 seconds in fire, an absolute record for the time. This innovation established Sparco as a pioneering force in motorsport safety equipment.</p>

<h2>What Makes Sparco Stand Out in Motorsport?</h2>

<p>Today, SPARCO is the most recognized brand in Motorsport: more than 300 sponsored teams around the world. Today the Group is present in over 90 countries worldwide and employs thousands of people across three continents - Europe, America and Africa - and four headquarters located in Volpiano (Italy). The company has built partnerships with the most exclusive car manufacturers – such as Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Ferrari, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Ford, Bugatti, Lotus – providing aesthetic and structural parts and carbon sports seats for their flagship supercars.</p>

<h2>Innovation and Sustainability Initiatives</h2>
