Brand intelligence
C.P. Company
C.P. Company is the Italian sportswear and outerwear brand founded in 1971 by Massimo Osti. It is defined by garment dyeing, fabric research, military and workwear references, functional detail and the lens-integrated Mille Jacket, with archives and product development central to its identity. Lorenzo Osti is President and Creative Director, following earlier creative chapters including Paul Harvey and Moreno Ferrari. The directory separates Massimo Osti’s historic founder authorship from Lorenzo Osti’s current mandate, and does not infer a public-company financial record from the brand’s cultural reach or archive. The page treats its ownership context and collaborations as distinct from any unsupported revenue or valuation claim.
