BICAP

BICAP is an Italian brand specialized in safety and work footwear, recognized for its strong focus on quality, innovation, and long-standing craftsmanship. The company was founded in 1979 by Giuseppe Battaglia, who brought decades of prior experience in the footwear industry.

Over time, the business evolved from a family-run workshop into a modern industrial manufacturer. In 1989, the founder’s sons established Calzaturificio 5BI, transforming production into a large-scale operation and positioning BICAP as an internationally recognized leader in safety footwear.

One of the brand’s key strengths lies in its combination of Italian design, carefully selected raw materials, and advanced manufacturing technologies. Production takes place in Italy, at a facility in Barletta covering approximately 30,000 square meters, with a capacity of up to 9,000 pairs per day—highlighting the brand’s industrial scale and global reach.

BICAP offers a wide product portfolio, including safety shoes, work boots, trekking and outdoor footwear, as well as specialized models for industries such as construction, logistics, and food production. A strong emphasis is placed on compliance with international safety standards and certifications, ensuring reliability in demanding working environments.

The brand also invests heavily in innovation, incorporating advanced sole technologies and collaborating with well-known partners such as Vibram and Michelin to enhance durability, grip, and comfort.

At its core, BICAP represents a fusion of heritage, technology, and safety. Its products are not merely work shoes but essential tools designed to provide protection, comfort, and long-term performance. Today, BICAP stands as a trusted “Made in Italy” brand and a key player in the global safety footwear market.
