C.A.B.I. Cattaneo was estabilished in 1936 by Giustino Cattaneo and his son Guido. C.A.B.I. is the acronym Cattaneo Applicazione Brevetti Industriali. Giustino Cattaneo was awarded the gold medal for Aeronautical achievement with the following distinction: "He was a clever designer with unique and state-of-the-art ideas. He understands the requirements for the manufacture and production of advanced engines. His unique designs were used successfully in Aeronautical, Marine and Automotive applications. His design and manufacturing skills were demonstrated in World War One, with the extensive use of his unique designs in Italian Air Force aircraft. He also developed and manufactured the engines for the celebrated MAS Torpedo Boats.
After the War his engines were used in aircraft that were successful in international and transoceanic competitions. This success increased Italian presence and prestige in the international aircraft arena. The "ASSO" series of aircraft engines were produced in principal European countries under his direction and license. This type of engine was used on the Atlantic flights in 1931 and 1933 when the Italian Air Force was planning air routes to the Americas.
Along the way, there were some automotive projects, including a 600cc car that remained a prototype, a four-cylinder truck with tubular chassis whose production was taken on by Edoardo Bianchi. Later, for Lancia, they did some modifications to the cylinder head of the Lancia.
Giustino Cattaneo, by his accomplishments, has been placed among the leaders for Aeronautical development". Eng. Guido, his son, holder of several motorboat records, has been a most valuable technician as well, and, following his father's traces, has strengthened the Company technical heritage with the development of several products, particularly in the marine field.
Today C.A.B.I.'s focus is on Marine Development Applications. The plant is located at via Gallarate 64, Milan. Its production capability includes a wide range of numerically controlled machine tools. Through the use of advanced equipment C.A.B.I. Quality Control can provide precision inspection data.
