Panther was created as a manufacturer of high quality injected sports shoes thanks to the entrepreneurial intuition of Rocco Cilenti. Among its customers also brands such as Reebok and Puma.
The new line dedicated to safety is added, which is so successful that it became the exclusive feature of the company.
Giovanni Cilenti, son of Rocco, together with a group of other italian entrepreneurs, founded the new company Aboutblu s.r.l.

The study, design, injection and testing are carried out at the Bovolenta (PD) headquarters. The new DESMA 24-station machine allows the reuse of granulated PU waste material for the injection of soles, thus reducing waste material for the benefit of the environment.
In the 2 production sites of PANTHER ALBANIA sh.p.k in Vallona and Burrel we produce the uppers. Each production phase takes place under the supervision of internal specialized technical representatives.
Allows us to obtain soles with recycled material with particular attention to the environment by producing less waste material
