A Brief History of the Italian Marque
Manufactured by Società Industrie Officine Veggetti, 1941~c.1955
Address: Via D. Calvart 4, Bologna
Born in 1904, Carlo Veggetti, former head of the turning department at SASIB, in 1941 founded with Vincenzo Mignani the firm Costruzioni Meccaniche Mignani, in Via D. Calvart. Those premises became the headquarters of the Società Industrie Officine Veggetti, established in 1946, with Veggetti as President. In the following years, employing about 15 people, they produced components for SASIB and the Boselli brothers. They built telescopic forks and 75cc engines for motorcycles. These engines were designed by Veggetti and around 7 or 8 units were produced each week. They were supplied to several motorcycle manufacturers including Cimatti, Invicta and Müller. There were other engines including a 125 of which little is known.
Carlo Veggetti died in 1955 and the firm ceased activity.
