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]
Maglificio Calzificio Torinese (MCT), a sock and underwear company from Turin, had a production problem with its Aquila brand in 1916. 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]
In January 2022, it was announced that Kappa would begin a multi-year partnership with the Alpine F1 Team, supplying the drivers and backroom team with apparel, and featuring their logo on the new car livery. Kappa is also seto develop new apparel collections for Alpine’s team kit, fan apparel, footwear and accessories, relying on a network of license to distribute these globally.[5]
