The famous group Bat’a, the world first shoe producer founded in 1894, built the factory town of Borovo in the middle of Yugoslavia in 1931. In 1945, the factory became the property of the Federal People’s Republic of Yugoslavia, and was then entirely managed by its employees.

The brand Startas was born in 1976 thanks to the new techniques of rubber vulcanization invented in the 70’s. Historically designed for table tennis players, the little canvas shoes quickly became iconic in the sports world and a fashion must-have in the former republic.
