Born as an aluminium and magnesium foundry, Marchesini soon became the most famous brand of wheels for racers and enthusiasts in the world. The first customer for Marchesini racing wheels back in 1988 was Ducati and today the current  World Superbike championship motorcycle manufacturer continues to choose Marchesini for its  innovation, design and quality  key values.

In March 2000, the company enforced its leadership and enriched its know-how when Brembo took over 70% of the company shares (rising to 100% in October 2002). Marchesini’s structure and distribution chain were reorganized, with the aim of reaching the highest service and quality standards owing to a strong synergy with Brembo, the runaway leader of the racing world.
In 2000, Marchesini added the manufacture of aluminium and magnesium alloy forged wheels obtained from crude parts to the manufacture of cast wheels. This technique allowed even lighter and high performance products to be manufactured. The company moved its headquarters to Jerago con Orago, still in the Varese area.
