Formula

FORMULA was founded in *1987* by Andrea Becocci and his wife and partner Daniela Frati in Prato, Italy. The objective early on was to design and manufacture quality wheels and brakes for motorcycles. However, in *1993*, development of MTB disc brakes changed the direction and the history of the biking industry and most importantly of FORMULA. FORMULA was the first company to successfully produce and distribute disc brakes for MTBs creating a market that is today crowded with competitors as well as professional and hobbyist riders. Diverse disc brakes are now assembled on a multitude of bicycle brands yet FORMULA remains true to its roots. FORMULA employees work in a technology driven environment, allowing them to enhance production in terms of quality and quantity. Constant monitoring of every process ? both inside and outside the company ? assures high quality standards which allowed FORMULA to obtain UNI EN ISO 9001:2000 quality certification (TUV Italia), a further assurance of high quality for FORMULA clients and our internal staff. Today FORMULA remains an independent family owned company and a very successful competitor in the bicycle and motorcycle industry. The headquarters located in the heart of the Tuscany, Italy works closely together with subsidiaries in Germany, France, the US, Canada and Taiwan to provide unique and highly crafted components, such as disc brakes, forks and wheels, around the globe.
