Kappa is an Italian sportswear brand founded in Turin, Piedmont, Italy[2] in 1978 by Marco Boglione, as a sportswear branch of the already existing "Robe di Kappa".[3]
History
Maglificio Calzificio Torinese (MCT) is a sock and underwear company from Turin established in 1916. It had a production problem with its Aquila brand in 1956. When the problem was fixed, all the new products were stamped with a K, standing for German Kontrolle. Sales surged and in 1967 the K line was formally called Kappa, the Greek letter for K.[4] [5]
