Linky’s innovation is deeply tied to its birthplace, Falerone, Italy—a picturesque town with a rich history of craftsmanship and industry. Founded as the Roman Colony of Falerio Picenus in the 1st century BC, Falerone has long been a dynamic hub, known for its flourishing agriculture and distinctive local products. In more recent times, it became part of Europe’s most significant hat production district, a testament to its enduring entrepreneurial spirit.
This blend of natural beauty and industriousness reflects the very essence of Linky—a fusion of tradition and forward-thinking innovation. Though Linky has global ambitions and a cutting-edge design, it remains deeply rooted in local craftsmanship. The founders, Cristiano and Paolo, both in their 30s, have successfully married international perspectives with the artisanal heritage of their hometown, creating an e-skate that pays homage to both modern engineering and centuries of local expertise.
For them, the goal was never just to create a product. It was about making a meaningful impact on their community, a place they cherish and want to see flourish. As global production trends pulled companies away from local economies, they saw the challenges their town faced—especially the limited opportunities for local youth, often forced to leave in search of better prospects. Cristiano and Paolo were determined to reverse that trend.
With the production of Linky 2.0, they made a bold decision: reshoring 70% of the supply chain to the local area. By partnering with nearby suppliers and sourcing materials locally, they are not only boosting the regional economy but also creating job opportunities that give the younger generation a reason to stay, grow, and invest in their future here.
When you choose Linky, you’re not just investing in an e-skate—you’re supporting a brand that’s grounded in tradition, committed to its community, and driven by a vision of innovation for the future.
