Our story
Quality, tradition and innovation
Through its Marathon brand, Grupo SAKA S.A.S. has stood for quality, tradition and innovation in the sock industry since 1926. Founded in Bogotá by a German Jewish family and later acquired by the Khoudari family, our operation has evolved for nearly a century, becoming a benchmark of textile excellence for Latin America and the United States.
As the brand of Grupo SAKA, we have been strategic partners of major global chains such as Walmart, suppliers to Target, Disney licensees, and fashion and retail brands such as Falabella, Pat Primo and Mario Hernández. With a production capacity of over 16 million pairs a year, state-of-the-art technology, high-quality materials and ethical, sustainable processes, we develop custom solutions for brands that value precision, applied science and social responsibility.
