A Brief History of the Italian Marque
Manufactured by Officina Cocchi & Compagno from the 1940s to c.1953.
Address: San Giovanni in Persiceto (Bo), Via Modena 6 Bologna
Founders: Enrico Cocchi and Alfio Bonasoni
Cocchi joined Ducati as an apprentice and later worked with Officine Calzoni.
Bonasoni was known locally for motorised bicycles which included Ducati Cucciolo, some with front suspension. O.C.C. also manufactured forks, stands and exhaust systems. Motorcycle construction continued until the years 1952-1953, with about 40 units completed, but by this time competition from the larger manufacturers caused them to cease.
Cocchi & Bonasoni acquired agencies for Innocenti and NSU and continued until 1965, with their workshop repairing and servicing automobile engines, trucks, motorcycles and agricultural equipment.
