Information

Francom was founded in 1960 due to the genius of Francesco Comunello. Francesco, born in 1933, was a cycling enthusiast in his teens. Because he did not have the means to buy a bicycle, Francesco decided to build one himself. By 1953, he was repairing and building bicycles in a small rented one-room shop in the town center of San Zeno di Cassola. It was there that everything began - working with the metal tubing, would light the spark that led to his very first patent: metal handles for agricultural machinery.
