Colnago, a company renowned internationally for the production of racing bikes, has chosen an FKgroup machine to cut its carbon fiber.
Established in the early 1950s, in the district of Milan, Colnago is a historical Made-in-Italy company, just like FKgroup. For many years, it has accompanied top cyclists with its high-performance racing bikes, built with craftsmanship and customized to meet the needs of each athlete, as Luca Donini, the company’s Head of Operation, proudly points out. The brainchild of Ernesto Colnago, since 1987 the company has specialized in bicycles made of carbon fiber, a robust and flexible material.
Opting for an FKgroup carbon fiber cutting machine proved to be the best choice. From the start, Tecno Biliardo led to a boost in production volumes, enhanced the efficiency of the production line and provided additional in-house control over the carbon used in the production of the frames.
However, the benefits do not stop there. Thanks to the CAD suite of products supplied by FKgroup, Colnago can now manage the cutting phase of each frame, adapting it to each customer’s needs in just a few clicks. This has encouraged previously inconceivable boosts in efficiency and speed in the cutting of carbon fiber, along with better management of waste materials. It has also improved the cutting quality, which was previously manual, giving the frames a structure that is not only cleaner but also more robust.
