Over 50 years of
experience
Mainly we have achieved it through long experience. We started to manufacture
our products in 1960, in the old factory of via Roma n. 13. In the same year
we became members of the Chamber of Commerce with number 84585.
However the owners of Plastiche Cassano originated from the family business
founded by the grandfather, Mr. Francesco Assaghi.
The old company was founded in 1925 and was situated in Cassano Magnago, via
Mazzel, 42. It was specialized in the production of handlebar grips made
with buffalo horn. Immediately after World War II, the first handlebar grips
in plastic, backelite and acetate were produced.
In those days the production capacity was of about 1.000 pairs of grips per
day. Nowadays we produce over 100.000 pairs of grips per day. 70% of our
products are exported worldwide.
Quality raw materials from highly reputable
suppliers
It is vital for us is to are raw materials of top quality, bought from
highly reputable suppliers, with consistency of top quality. The raw
materials comply with the European Safety regulations. Standard EN/71 (non
toxic).
The Plastiche Cassano Company execute severe quality control over the raw
material both in house, and at specialized laboratories which issue
certificates of quality. Most of our competitors stock the raw materials in
the open. We don't. We stock only indoors in order to prevent deterioration
caused by atmospheric conditions.
Quality control in all phases of productions
The production process is established by firm written rules, and circulated
to all our staff.
From the tool making department to the produced goods departments,
everything is properly planned and controlled.
Thorough check for products
The quality control of the produced pieces takes place twice: the first one
during the production phase, when each operator has the necessary time and
the obligation of controlling every single piece produced, and every 100
pieces has to check the aesthetical and dimensional features with
specialized instruments.
The second quality control takes place before packing the products, when an
operator performs a further control of dimensions and finishing of 3 pieces
for every single carton, in total a check varying from 100 to 200 pieces
according to the different model of grips.
The products are boxed in strong cartons of small or medium sizes in order
to offer easy handling, and adequate protection during the transport
Tests during races.
For the last 15 years we have submitted our products marketed under the
trade mark "Pro Grip", for race testing at events up to world championship
level in three fields. From these experienced champions we gather useful
informations for ever improving the quality of our mass production.
Assurance
All products supplies are covered by insurance for a maximum liability of
one billion lire (about 800.000 $) for any possible damage, accident or
death that should be attributed to our products.
The whole process is accompanied by the responsible attitude of all
cooperators of the Plastiche Cassano company: from the proprietors to the
last employee. This sound attitude allows us to offer a high quality product
et a reasonable price and to proudly include among our customers the most
important and famous companies in the world of two wheeled transport -
