History

With about 40 years of history, Scoprega is a specialized manufacturer of marine equipment and outdoor recreations.

The Company has been a family owned business since 1979 when 3 Italian families (Scotti, Preti and Gaiardelli, from whose initials the name was born) decide to found a company mainly focused on plastic molding. Since 1980, Scoprega has grown and evolved. The demand for inflation valves represented the opportunity to enter the marine/watersport industry.

Valves were followed by oars & paddles, and later by foot pumps, hand pumps and, in the 90s, electric pumps, which are now the core business of the Group.
In 2007, Scoprega opened a 100% subsidiary in China - Ningbo BRAVO Manufacturing of Inflators and Accessories Co. Ltd. - where items and/or part of it are manufactured and the expanding Asian market is supplied.

In Italy, the Company assembles and sells inflators and accessories under its own brand Scoprega mainly for the European market, as well it distributes the products of its Chinese subsidiary in the same territory, serving not only the distributors but also the manufacturers.
In China, the Company produces inflators and accessories for the Chinese and Asian market with its own brand Bravo and, above all, manufactures customized inflators for large American, Far Eastern, and European groups operating in the marine and outdoor sectors.
Ningbo Bravo, in addition to inflators, produces/assembles: valves, oars, paddles and several accessories for water sports equipment (dinghies, kayaks, canoe, SUPs, tents and all kind of inflatables).
