BESTGRIP

SECURE GRIP AND ABSOLUTE SLIP RESISTANCE ON ANY SURFACE

Bestgrip is an innovative company based in Gandino in the Italian province of Bergamo and a leading manufacturer of spikes that are easy to mount and just as easy to remove. What makes the product so unique is its extremely wide range of applications, from professional motorsport to sport, animal husbandry and leisure.

The brand is represented internationally and exports its products extremely successfully to numerous European countries such as Spain, France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and the United Kingdom, as well as to the Scandinavian countries and the Baltic states. The expansion into the Northern European market was a milestone, as the harsh winter conditions in these countries mean that there is a very high demand for reliable and non-slip solutions for vehicles. But the company's expansion policy does not end in Europe. The company has also gained a foothold in the USA, Canada and Russia and is also represented in countries such as Argentina and Chile, where it has also found growing markets for its innovative solutions. The patents that the company secures worldwide ensure that its technology not only remains unique but is also protected.

The Bestgrip success story began in 2004, when Luca and Remo Maffeis' passion for enduro motorbikes inspired them to set up their own company. However, the idea behind the company was born many years earlier. In the late 1990s, when the two brothers travelled to work by motorbike every day, they were faced with a problem: road conditions became a nightmare, especially in winter. Snow-covered and icy roads made it almost impossible to travel safely on a motorbike.

As they couldn 't find a suitable solution on the market at the time, the brothers took the problem into their own hands. Using simple tools and a saw, they developed the first rudimentary versions of the spikes. Although these first prototypes were functional, they were a far cry from what Bestgrip produces today. The conviction that they had a usable product in their hands that could be further developed and improved ultimately led to the founding of the company.

In order to expand the product range, develop suitable solutions for new areas, continuously improve existing products and maintain a leading position on the market in the long term, Bestgrip founded Bestgrip RS in 2014 - a research and development centre with a focus on innovation.

In the beginning, the company was small, with just two machines and a limited product range focussed exclusively on the Italian market. Luca and Remo did everything themselves - from production to sales, and even the creation of a simple website. But their tireless work and innovative spirit paid off.

Today, Bestgrip is a global company with an extensive distribution network and an international presence on three different continents. The Maffei brothers have managed to turn an ingenious idea into a globally recognised brand.
