How we obtain the high standard of quality of our products:
1. Over 50 years of
experience
Mainly we have acheved 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. (Please see
the photographs showing the old factory in 1940).
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.
2.Quality raw materials
from higly 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.
3. 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.
4. Thourough 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.
5.
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.
6. 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
