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.

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.
