About Macron
Macron is a leading Italian sportswear company specializing in the design, production, and sale of performance athletic apparel, footwear, and accessories for teams and individual athletes.
Founded in Bologna by Massimo Barbolini, the company began as a small distributor of American sportswear before developing its own production and establishing itself as a technical sponsor for professional sports teams. The name "Macron" combines "Ma" from Massimo with "cron" representing chronos (time), symbolizing the brand's focus on athletic performance and timing.
Macron has achieved significant growth by focusing on technical teamwear for football (soccer), rugby, basketball, volleyball, and other team sports. The company's "Hero" business model provides comprehensive customized kit solutions for teams at all levels, from elite professional clubs to amateur organizations. This approach has enabled Macron to become one of Europe's fastest-growing sportswear brands and a significant challenger to the dominant global athletic wear companies.
The brand emphasizes European design and production quality, maintaining its headquarters and design center in Italy while operating through a network of subsidiaries, branded stores, and distributors across Europe and beyond. Macron's philosophy of "Work hard. Play harder" reflects its commitment to creating performance sportswear that supports athletes in their pursuit of achievement across all levels of competition.
