Sparco S.p.A. is an Italian auto part and accessory company headquartered in Volpiano near Turin[1] that specializes in producing items such as seats, steering wheels, harnesses, racewear and helmets.

Sparco branded alloy wheels are produced under licence by OZ Group.

In 1977, FIA decided to restrict their safety standards, in order to decrease injuries during races: the first product that brought fame to Sparco, was a fireproof racing suit,[3] that could withstand 11 seconds in fire, an absolute record for the time.

Moreover, that was the only effective alternative to the cotton racing suits, which were not fireproof and did not meet the new requirements.

In 2009, Aldino Bellazzini acquired a majority stake in Sparco and assumed the role of Chairman.
