Alberto Ghelfi

Alberto Ghelfi was born on October 27, 1961, in Mantua, to a father who was a doctor and a mother who was a homemaker. After abandoning his veterinary studies, he decided to embark on the path of entrepreneurship. In 1993, together with his wife Ida Bombana, who passed away prematurely in 2006, he started the production of medical socks with graduated compression using only the resources available to them.

Sanyleg's expansion

He thus initiates a series of researches in the field of graduated compression stockings and analyzes foreign markets to identify products and countries on which to focus commercial efforts. Participation in international fairs allows him to travel around the world, gaining recognition for his seriousness and determination to achieve his goals.

He invested in qualified personnel to ensure high quality and, with commitment, leads Sanyleg a world leader in the production of Private Label medical socks, with export shares of 90%.
In 2010 he decided to invest in a new production line for graduated compression socks for the sports sector. This choice has made Sanyleg today one of the most important producers of graduated compression socks for sports as well.
