Sixtus Italia srl
Sport is competition, sweat, fun. It is a part of our lives. It is passion at all levels, amateur or professional. We practice sports because we have a goal, large or small, and to reach it we need to rely on a health and wellness professional, such as Sixtus Italia. Inspired by this conviction back in 1974 a company was established in Tuscany, which today operates in the Italian market with a focus on the direct distribution of products and equipment to sports clubs, retail outlets, medical institutions and physiotherapy centres, designed to ensure the physical well-being of all athletes. The position of leadership in our sector is amply demonstrated by the reputation of our partners in the sports world.

About us
Steady growth throughout Italy eventually allowed Sixtus Italia to expand its horizons beyond the national borders. In 2005, after more than 30 years in business, the company expanded its products sales network into foreign markets, where an increasing number of professional clubs covering a wide range of disciplines have chosen to partner with the Tuscan company.
Over the years Sixtus Italia achieved increasingly ambitious goals and continued to grow and today, the company is a leader in the Italian market.

A success story that reaches back in time
That of Sixtus Italia is a story that reaches back in time, inspired by an insight of company President Mauro Marrucci: it is 1974 and everything starts in a pharmacy in Empoli (Florence), where Mauro managed the pharmaceuticals sector with the help of his friend Patrizio Capecchi.
Fascinated by the world of sports, Mauro Marrucci is able to understand before anyone else that professional companies operating in the market of products for the physical well-being of athletes are still lacking in Italy. It is the right insight that leads to the founding of a company that years later would become an Italian leader in the industry.
With courage and determination, Mauro Marrucci would leave his job and throw himself headlong into an enormous and seemingly impossible challenge: re-evaluating the role of the physiotherapist, erroneously considered a sort of “witch doctor”, a dispenser of miracle creams and bandages.
And so MediMarc was established, company that began to distribute natural oils and creams, health products and supplements on the Italian market.
The company’s success was so immediate that it soon paved the way for Media Marc to produce a line under its own brand: Sixtus Italia. The first operators to believe in the new company were the large football clubs of the Italian Serie A, which are soon imitated by many teams from the lower categories, arriving all the way to the amateur sector. A growing success story which has never slowed down in more than 40 years of business activity, as evidenced by the growing number of clubs and champions from different sports disciplines who continue to choose Sixtus Italia as the solution for their physical well-being.

What we do
Consumer products and electromedical equipment
We strive to identify innovative solutions to offer our customers on a daily basis. We believe that to stay competitive, we need to look around and continuously improve.
This is the vision company founders wish to convey and the spirit with which Sixtus has been working for over 40 years.
Health, well-being and healthy competition are the founding values of any sport. Respecting these principles and working on a daily basis with a focus on the dissemination and promotion of sports education is what makes us proud of our company. For this reason, each product belonging to the Sixtus Italia brand represents an aid to the achievement of sports results and therefore to affirming the principles of sport.
Research is one of the flagships of a company that has always looked towards the future to anticipate the present. In our research centre, a team of professionals works around the clock to develop state-of-the-art electromedical equipment. The objective of this Sixtus Italia channel is to ensure the provision of the best possible assistance to sports professionals, in order to have strong allies that help us achieve the goals and objectives we set for ourselves on a daily basis.
Philosophy
Caring for the body is not just a detail. It Is a real life philosophy, it is what drives Sixtus Italia in its continuous search for excellence. The corporate strategy is aimed at the creation, marketing and sale of premium quality sport products.
Putting the very best product possible at the service of athletes: Sixtus Italia’s main goal, which with its decades of experience has stood alongside sports clubs, individual champions and sports enterprises, driven by the firm belief that successes are built day by day through training, prevention and full recovery from injuries, together with the ability to be on top of your game at the right time. For us, every success achieved by one of our partners, is a success for our company.
Standing alongside those who practice physical activities, at every level and in every category: this is the founding principle of Sixtus Italia, which like all athletes has its sight set towards the future, because every result is a starting point towards new challenges and new goals to be achieved.
Our core valuesOur cultureWorking in the world of sports, at all levels and across different sports disciplines, means fully embracing its values. Physical well-being is as important as healthy competition and fair play between clubs and athletes. For these reasons, Sixtus Italia’s commitment reaches far beyond its business activities: through our communication channels we wish to pass on to youngsters the importance of sport as a means of social cohesion, of greater inclusiveness and of acceptance of others.
A 360 degrees commitmentSports culture is reflected in every aspect of Sixtus Italia’s business operations. Within each department the values of respect, cohesion and teamwork have been a constant for more than 40 years. Moreover, with a workforce consisting of more than 50% women, we guarantee the promotion and protection of equal opportunities. We strongly believe in the importance and value of female skills, a genuine corporate strength.
We also carry out charity activities supporting the Meyer Children's Hospital Foundation. We share values, projects and fully embrace the cause of the Foundation based in Florence, sharing the same territory to which we have been deeply committed since the early days of our company. The Foundation carries out activities that very much mirror our own: a continuous effort to improve research, technology and innovation, aimed at the welfare of children.
Passion for our workThe best ideas are rooted in passion. That passion which athletes put into their training on a daily basis, and which for Sixtus Italia represents the drive to find the very best solutions to meet the needs of the professional: developing products for psycho-physical well-being means, first and foremost, trying to understand the needs and to anticipate the wants of those who love sports.
The search for quality and innovationSixtus Italia is rooted in the courage and the ability to anticipate the times. These values have been part of our work for over 40 years, because as a business, looking ahead with the confidence of offering excellent quality in every product you sell, is only possible through experience.
Our visionSixtus Italia’s goal is to grow the world of sports through products that are the result of constant research and attention to detail: we question ourselves and every choice we make, in our continuous search of a better idea to implement. We devote our resources to training and updating physicians and physiotherapists, because we believe keeping up with the times and experimenting with new solutions is the winning model in sports as well as in research.
