C.R.G., nowadays company leader for the manufacturing and marketing of chassis and spare parts for karts, was founded in 1986 thanks to the experience of its promoting partners, matured starting from the seventies in the company KaliKart. KaliKart was born as a little factory producing hobby chassis but in a few years it changed into an important company, selling its products in the whole Italy and in 1979 it won the 125cc Italian championship.

The new company C.R.G. established itself since the beginning of its activities in the international karting survey, thanks to a constant commitment in the research and technical development of its products and at the beginning of the nineties it changed from a craftmade production into an industrial manufacture.

In that period started also the widespread expansion of importers and distributors in the five continents, with a particular care for the key markets of Europe and U.S.A., so that nowadays it reached the number of 70 official dealers all over the world and this number is also increasing, with the new importers of the rising markets, such as the countries of the ex U.R.R.S. and the Middle East.

In the nineties, the company started the development of a new line for the study and designing of karting engines, but the new line required an high specialization, both for the manufacturing structure and for the different skills required to the staff, so after the company and production shakeout of the year 2000 the management decided to create a separate company: Maxter S.r.L.

In 2003 the company shakeout was completed by the establishment of the Tinini Group, the leading holding that controls and coordinates both Maxter S.r.L. and the newco C.R.G. S.p.A., now focused only on its core business. The two companies, at the moment located in two separate buildings, will move very soon into a new important industrial pole, that will represent in a better way the leading role that they have in their fields.

The commitment of C.R.G. S.p.A. is centred not only on the technological evolution of the karts and their components, but also on the international competitions: the palmares achieved by the Racing Team boasts a huge number of victories in the World and European Championship and many continental titles. A staff of high skilful professional mechanics supports the official drivers during the races, providing them a precious technical support. They have also the task of testing the new products of the company, combining the trial on the track to the study and the research carried on inside the company.

We can consider C.R.G. a real factory of champions: this is evidence of the great number of drivers who passed from the karting to the Formula 1, thanks to their characteristic qualities. Some examples? Michael Schumacher, Ralf Schumacher, Raikkonen, Fisichella, Heidfeld, Liuzzi, Nico Rosberg, Kubica, Lewis Hamilton... all of them have raced on C.R.G. chassis!

The commitment of the company for the technical and qualitative improvement of its products steadily continues in time, and this is confirmed by the drivers that every year bring C.R.G. to the top positions of the national and international championships. The passion is the same...and the evolution goes on!
