Italian Outdoor Group is the association that brings together the leading Italian companies in the production of apparel, footwear, and equipment for outdoor sports. These companies represent the invaluable value of a unique and unparalleled manufacturing tradition, born from the special creative talent of Italy.
Italian Outdoor Group is also home to prestigious international brands, represented in Italy by companies specialized in the distribution of outdoor products.
Italian Outdoor Group was founded in 2006 by a small group of companies and, in 2018, became part of ASSOSPORT, the National Association of Sporting Goods Manufacturers. ASSOSPORT represents, protects, and promotes companies that produce and/or distribute sporting goods, both nationally and internationally.
Through its activities, IOG aims to inspire, promote, and enhance the outdoor culture and lifestyle in society, with a particular focus on benefiting younger generations.
IOG promotes a culture centered on outdoor living, supporting social initiatives that spread knowledge and strengthen the connection with nature.
Through targeted activities, IOG supports the sharing of expertise and enhances the quality of relationships among market players, promoting collaborative development.
The association promotes agreements with national and international trade fairs and develops synergies with institutions and organizations that share the same goals, generating tangible benefits for its members.
Joining the IOG team of Assosport is a great opportunity for any company. Together, we can make the voice of a sector heard—one of the most competitive economic forces in the country—which deserves recognition and protection.
Being a member of IOG means working together to promote market growth and safeguard the value of the Italian outdoor industry.
Large and small companies stand side by side, united by a shared interest in tackling market challenges more effectively, sharing their experiences in a pre-competitive environment where good ideas make the difference. This also comes with economic advantages, such as access to trade fairs under preferential conditions.
