History
Maglificio Calzificio Torinese (MCT) is a sock and underwear company from Turin established in 1916. It had a production problem with its Aquila brand in 1956. When the problem was fixed, all the new products were stamped with a K, standing for German Kontrolle. Sales surged and in 1967 the K line was formally called Kappa, the Greek letter for K.[4][5]
