THE BEGINNING
It all started in 1994, when former successful kart driver Albino Parolin decided to move his passion for karting from the track to a small workshop. The economic resources to succeed in motorsports as a driver were not at Parolin’s disposal, so young Albino began to build the first frames on behalf of third parties, tuning engines as well as servicing talented drivers as Giancarlo Fisichella.
The capabilities of Parolin collected appreciations all over Europe in the early Nineties, when the first Parolin-branded chassis was launched. The new chassis achieved its first victories and relevant results both at national and international levels. In just a few years, Parolin name got increasingly popular, reaching North American and Asian markets. The innovative spirit and creative approach in finding new technical solutions helped Parolin to widen his presence worldwide.

A NEW FACTORY
As the new millennium came, the demand for Parolin products increased and a newer, larger factory equipped with state-of-art technologies was built>. While drivers as Hamilton, Rosberg, Piccini and Speed were obtaining worldwide successes, Parolin continued its investments in technology, with a focus on automated welding robots and high-tech CNC machines, which are nowadays among the strongest assets of the company.
Parolin has also been playing an active role in the promotion of the sport, supporting ASNs and organizing one-make series such as Championkart, to attract new people to karting with a reasonable budget. As part of its corporate social responsibility, Parolin partnered together with ACI-CSAI in educational programs aimed to spread the message road safety among youngsters around Italy, exporting the format even abroad.

THE ENGINE ARRIVAL
A decisive year for Parolin Group was 2010, when the production was extended to engines, under the Fim brand. The new duo Parolin-Fim convinced the CIK-FIA and won the tender for two prestigious categories as the Under 18 World Championship and the World Academy Trophy. This action by Parolin opened further markets for the Company, and after three years of successful collaboration, the highest motorsport authority re-elected Parolin Group as its exclusive partner for other three years. In these promotional categories, talents such as Leclerc and Ocon were discovered.

TOWARDS THE FUTURE
In 2015 the factory decided to re-join international competitions as a factory team in WSK and CIK-FIA races, with the aim of enhancing the research and development process, immediately achieving notable results around Europe, North America and Asia, becoming CIK-FIA Asia Pacific KZ Champion in the same year.
Rental kart is another important segment for Parolin. Since late Nineties, the company destines a wide part of its R&D efforts to the rental kart market, offering a range of high-standard models that are collecting global appreciation for its reliability, safety and easiness of maintenance.
Strong of its short but rich history and a motivated team of expert personnel, Parolin company nowadays entirely control its production process within its facility, counting on a network of effective departments as mechanical engineering, CNC machining, welding, assembling, storage, quality control, marketing, commercial and administration.
