Progrip
THE RACE PASSION COMPANY
OVER FORTY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE:
We have reached our current market position through long experience. We started making our products in 1960 in Cassano Magnago, in the old factory in via Roma n. 13. In the same year we became members of the Chamber of Commerce with the number 84585. However the owners of Plamiche Cassano, Mr. Francesco Assaghi had founded the original company in 1925 which was located in Cassano Magnago, via Mazzel, 42. At that time, Plastics Cassano specialized in the production of handlebar handles made with buffalo horns. The first plastic, bakelite and acetate knobs were produced immediately after the Second World War. In those days the production capacity was around 1,000 pairs of knobs per day. On the day of today we produce more than 20,000 pairs of knobs a day. 70% of our products are exported all over the world.
But Progrip is not only a manufacturer of grips.
Being also a manufacturer of motocross and enduro masks, our technology has led us to transfer the know-how acquired in the field of ski and snowboard masks. The move from motorbike tracks to snowy slopes was relatively simple. All our ski products have been highly tested by world champions directly in the most important competitions.
