We were born as a family business, in Italy, a long time ago. Staying true to our core values during seventy-plus years has helped us create a company we’re proud to run and work for. We now have offices around the world, and our team has grown, day by day, into a large Cressi family.

When we design a new product we have a few clear concepts in our mind: it must be functional, easy to use, repairable and most of all that it shall last in time. This is why we are proud when we see a vintage regulator still being used today (and it happens all the time). Because products are meant to live long. Proof that the project was sound, and the manufacturing strong.

Cressi’s legacy of innovation began in 1939 with two brothers who shared a passion for the sea and a gift for technical design and working with their hands. By 1946 their designs and products had become so popular they founded the Cressi company in Genoa, Italy. Today, although Cressi is a worldwide leader in water sports manufacturing, it is still wholly owned by the Cressi family.

With 150 employees and four foreign subsidiaries, Cressi is now the second brand on the Italian market and the fourth on the world market, with exports accounting for 80% of turnover.
