    SILCA - Established in 1917 to elevate your entire cycling experience by designing products that incorporate innovative technology, old world craftsmanship, and an unparalleled customer experience.

    The SILCA STORY

    SILCA was founded in 1917 by Felice Sacchi just outside of Milan, Italy. The company innovated and grew quickly by innovating as the first company to put gauges on pumps, the first company to produce a true 'high-pressure' frame pump, the first to work with the revolutionary lightweight material plastic after the end of WWII. More recently, the company was first with a valve controlled CO2 inflator, and with some irony, the first to move away from plastics and back to wood handles. Along the way, the company ideals became deeply rooted in a combination of durable materials, traditional craftsmanship, and innovation. It is no accident that so many of the SILCA pumps of the 1960's and 70's are still in use today, nor is it accidental that we continue to sell replacement parts for those very pumps.


    SILCA TRANSITION
    By 2013, SILCA was the oldest company in the bicycle industry to have been continually owned by the same family. In August of 2013, Claudio Sacchi, grandson of Felice, sold the company to Joshua Poertner. For 14 years previously he was Technical Director at Zipp Speed Weaponry and have been a lifelong SILCA fan since buying his SILCA pump in 1990, a pump still in daily use today. Sadly, Claudio lost his battle with cancer shortly after selling the company, and while we miss him greatly, Silca is inspired to rebuild this iconic brand to be the industry leader in this category.

    SILCA Today
    In 2014, SILCA headquarters and manufacturing moved to Indianapolis, Indiana, USA where they still are today. Here, they are rebuilding a once great icon into a new great icon. Silca uses the finest materials and craftsmanship achievable in their products. Here in Indianapolis, they are surrounded by an amazing thing called the motorsports industry, which attracts some of the finest minds and manufacturing capabilities anywhere in the world. It is from those minds and often times that same equipment that SILCA parts are now born. Each and every SILCA component is designed for beauty, function, strength, durability, and longevity before it is carefully produced by hand to the highest standards. SILCA takes great pride in upholding the 101-year history of this brand.

    The SILCA Way
    We’ve all experienced those brief moments of perfection that happen while out on a ride. We’ve heard the perfect silence of a finely tuned road bike, we’ve taken that difficult corner just perfectly during the local cross race, and we’ve all had that perfect few hours out on the bike. And they’re always in pursuit of more of those little moments that make this sport of ours so beautiful.

    Ultimately, we believe that perfection can be found (and sometimes created) in the details of everything that any of us do. SILCA's commitment to you, they will continue that pursuit of perfection in everything they do.

    From continually investing in state of the art technology, sourcing the finest materials from all over the world, and never cutting corners, they will be forever in pursuit of bringing you a little slice of perfection.
