ZAGO: Mastering the Art of Complex Footwear Moulds Since 1958

For more than six decades, ZAGO has been at the forefront of mould manufacturing, combining Italian tradition, technological innovation, and uncompromising precision. Specialising in moulds for safety, trekking, casual, and sports footwear, the company has built a global reputation for customised solutions that blend performance, design, and speed of delivery.

Innovation at Every Stage of the Process

Creating extremely complex moulds requires meticulous attention to every stage of production. At ZAGO’s in-house workshop, expertise and professionalism meet cutting-edge technologies, enabling the development of advanced moulding solutions.

The design process begins with 2D technical drawings, ensuring clear communication of essential details. This is followed by 3D modelling, offering a complete visualisation of the mould before production. Using Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM), precise toolpaths are generated and transferred to CNC machines to craft the final mould — a perfect replica of the agreed concept.

Throughout this journey, ZAGO works hand-in-hand with clients in co-design, ensuring each detail is validated step by step. Customers can even preview results in advance through high-resolution physical models (maquettes), which allow them to refine stylistic and functional options before final integration into the mould.

Leading Products for Performance Footwear

Over its 60+ years of history, ZAGO has developed a wide range of moulds, each designed to meet the needs of demanding industries:

• Rubber-PU moulds, lightweight yet resistant to abrasion, used for trekking, police, and military footwear.

• TPU-PU moulds, designed for multicoloured soles that combine flexibility, abrasion resistance, and lightness.

• PU-PU safety boots moulds, essential for footwear used in medium-to-high risk environments such as healthcare and food industries.

Each solution reflects ZAGO’s commitment to combining technical precision with advanced design, ensuring footwear that performs under the toughest conditions.
