Meteor Piston Kits

METEOR PISTON

 A fifty year history not so different from many other similar companies established in handicraft form that fully engaged during these into a steady and continuous evolution.

1952: Year of Foundation

Thanks to the skills of its founders, METEOR PISTON gradually earns a leader place on the market among the most qualified companies of its specialized area. First years' production is focused on pistons for 2-stroke engines in motorcycle field, for such brands as Piaggio and Innocenti, as well as pistons for micro-engines and industrial engines.

1962: Moving to a New Site

The native building is not enough to meet the activity's new requirements anymore, to the extent that moving to a bigger area becomes necessary in order to keep up with an ever growing and demanding business. In the meantime the company provides and establishes its activity on principles still valid today: reliability, availability and flexibility. Keeping an eye wide open on the market becomes more and more dynamic through continuous technical evolution and improvement.

1970-1980: Products' Range Enlargement and O.E.M.

The firm's production widens to new areas, like outboard pistons and pistons for agricultural engines. Cooperation with important Italian companies manufacturing gardening engines is set out, thus offering METEOR PISTON the chance of becoming an O.E.M. supplier for pistons to be assembled on chainsaws, mistblowers and brushcutters.

1980-1990: Success on International Market

Continuous care for the development of the engines' field and the updating of technological know-how allow METEOR PISTON to establish itself as a main supplier of Italian and European companies and to gain a high international reputation on spare parts market. Company's production is starting to address itself towards the new 4-stroke area which is steadily gaining ground on small engines too.

CABER in Turin

The company CABER in Turin - a leader manufacturer of high quality rings - is taken over by METEOR PISTON and becomes its sister company. This is an essential step for METEOR's growth, both to achieve new manufacturing strategies and to better handle the offer of a product completely home made by now.

New Foundry Department

Aiming to get the best from its manufacturing activity, METEOR PISTON relies on CABER to manage the starting metallurgical process through the new foundry department created by its associated company. New products have also been developed there during the years so as to expand the castings' range.

2000: Cylinders

New challenges for METEOR PISTON at the beginning of this millennium: the company is engaged in extending its range of products to aluminum cylinders with nikasil plating, thus giving life to new and reliable METEOR's components for gardening/forestry engines as well as small planes' and scooters / quads' engines.
