Our History

1964

1964

Company Foundation:

“PUIG FAIRINGS”

 

In the garage of their house in Granollers, Spain, the brothers Josep and Jaume Puig founded the company “Carenados Puig” as a result of their motorcyle passion, only 100m2 that saw the birth of a dream, making motorcycle fairings.

 

The two founders were Derbi workers, and they materialized their dreams by turning their passion into their work.

 

On the left of the image we see Josep Puig, who is in charge of the commercial part of the company, and on the right Jaume Puig, responsible for the technical part and the design of the pieces.

EXPANSION OF THE FACILITIES WITH THE NEW SECTION OF POLITÉ SHEET BLOW MOLDING AND LAMINATING

 

A new blow molding section is commissioned to serve the Puch of Gijón brand and the sheet extrusion machine is used to produce the thermoformed semi-fairings and windshields for the Derbi and Vespa.

THE RANGE OF PRODUCTS IS EXPANDED
 
The new blow-moulding machinery allows closed shapes to be created that are empty on the inside, and that in turn to be able to 
manufacture tanks and boxes for transporting objects.
 
Europa II Fairings are designed and built for the Yamaha XS400 and XJ650. These were the first complete fairings to incorporate aerodynamic protection for the rider’s legs, arms and torso, thanks to the wraparound fiber part and the large screen.

NUMERICAL CONTROL INCORPORATION 
First 5-Axis robot.

 

The manufacture of polyester fiber is a very traditional process that does not allow meeting the growing demand and it is decided to promote thermoforming and pressing. More industrial processes to be able to manufacture more standardized parts and meet demand.

 

The production of fairings in polyester fiber is abandoned, and focuses on the design and manufacture of screens in acrylic material.
