The history of the company.

1975

SIDAS is founded by three ski instructors: Loïc David, Jacques Martin, Gabriel Pellicot.

Their personalities and their convictions position SIDAS on the buoyant ski market, developing and marketing a foot-comfort solution for skiing: an insole moulded to one’s foot shape.

The business grows internationally (United States and Japan).

Requested by foot surgeon and doctors and on the impetus of Patrick Boismal, SIDAS opens up to a new market: medical appliances. Birth of the PODIATECH brand and development of adapted solutions for foot-health professionals.
