History
Founded in 1935
The company was founded in 1935 and started producing weight scales for commercial and industrial applications. We are located in the Motor Valley of Emilia Romagna, a place with an immense automotive heritage and where the most prestigious sports cars and motorbikes manufacturers were born. During the years the vision of Borghi brought the company into a new field and caught the opportunity to enter the automotive industry converting the production of weight scales into engine dynamometers for power and torque measurements.
In over 80 years of activity the products continuously evolved, following the requirements of the most demanding engine manufacturers, from mass production to racing, from small kart engines to big naval applications.
The partnership with customers involved in the pinnacle of racing gave us the opportunity to deal with the highest level of technology and develop solutions capable of meeting the hardest requirements.
The know-how accumulated over the years, from racing and series applications, allowed us to build a strong reputation with customers in the automotive industry worldwide.
In return for the trust we gained from our clients we continuously improve our know-how to ensure the highest level of competence and quality.
In 2019 the company was acquired by Alma Automotive, creating an industrial group capable of providing innovative and reliable solutions for engine testing, combining the high quality of our products with the competence in electronics and control systems of Alma Automotive.
