Sports company Lotto Sport Italia S.p.A. closed 2005 satisfactorily, despite a recession in the Italian market. With total sales of €257 million, the company managed to make up for the low performance in the domestic market through its export markets.

The most significant event was the launch of Zhero Gravity, the first lace-less football shoe. The start of high-end leisure footwear and apparel collection Lotto Leggenda was also an important factor.

The company also signed new commercial agreements including two joint ventures in China and the USA and new distribution agreements in Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam and Australia.
