About Progrip

Progrip is a brand that specializes in the motorsports industry, offering a range of products such as Progrip motorcycle gloves, Progrip motorcycle clothing, Progrip motorcycle protection, and Progrip motorcycle spare parts. Progrip aims to provide high-quality, innovative, and comfortable products for both professional and amateur motorcyclists, as well as for adults and kids.
Progrip has a long history of manufacturing sports products, dating back to 1960 when it started as a company that made plastic knobs for handlebars. Progrip has since evolved into a global leader in the field of self-gripping mesh, a technology that allows for better adhesion and stability of synthetic prosthetic materials. Progrip products are tested and used by world champions in major competitions and are trusted by millions of customers worldwide.
The history of Progrip begins in 1960, in Cassano Magnago´s ancient factory on Via Roma, Italy, where they began manufacturing sports products. Progrip joined the Chamber of Commerce in the same year and was founded by Mr. Francesco Assaghi, who owned the original company, Plastics Cassano, since 1925.
Plastics Cassano specialized in the manufacture of buffalo horn handlebar handles, which were later replaced by plastic knobs made of bakelite and acetate. The daily production capacity was approximately 1,000 pairs of knobs. Progrip now manufactures almost 200,000 pairs of knobs per day and exports 70% of its products worldwide.
In the following decades, Progrip expanded its product range to include Progrip motorcycle gloves, Progrip motorcycle clothing, masks, helmets, and accessories for various sports, such as motocross, skiing, and snowboarding. Progrip also invested in research and development and collaborated with surgeons and textile engineers to create a revolutionary product: the self-gripping mesh. The self-gripping mesh (Progrip TM, Sofradim Production, Trévoux, France) was introduced in 2006 as a synthetic prosthetic material for reinforcement of the abdominal wall in open inguinal hernia repair.
Progrip is not only a brand that produces high-quality, innovative, and comfortable products for the motorsports industry, but also a brand that contributes to the advancement of medical science and technology. Progrip is a brand that combines passion, excellence, and reliability and strives to meet the needs and expectations of its customers. Progrip is a brand that you can trust and enjoy.
