MOMO - A GLORIOUS HISTORY, SINCE 1964

MOMO’s History stems back to the 1960s. These were the years of amazing racing, just 11 years after the birth of Formula 1, with cars that must be driven with the heart and just the head. Car electronics were only fiction at this time and steering wheels were just a generic piece of the interior. However, in 1964 gentleman driver Gianpiero Moretti developed a small leather steering wheel with a much larger grip: the first MOMO steering wheel. Formula 1 driver John Surtees saw this steering wheel and asked for one just like it for his car. He went on to win the championship that year with a MOMO steering wheel in hand. And that was just the beginning.

MOMO – 50 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN RACING

On the race track, MOMO finds a unique technological and qualitative testing ground to check the total security of its products. The MOMO Racing Department was created to provide the most advanced technology and safety to drivers and teams with tailor-made fireproof products. Product development stems from the direct experience of the MOMO teams in the top American / European race series and the hundreds of victories won with MOMO products worldwide. Every product is specifically designed by MOMO “style centre”, in compliance with the international homologation rules.

MOMO - DEVELOPMENT

At the beginning, MOMO's production was limited to the racing world, but in the 1970s, the Company started broadening its horizons by developing new product lines. MOMO thus started the production of light alloy wheels and steering wheels for road cars, both for the aftermarket sector and supplying original equipment auto manufactures, starting with Ferrari. At the end of the 1980s, MOMO signed a cooperation’s agreement with Rolls-Royce to be their original equipment supplier and later on, many other car manufacturers followed suit: Aston Martin, Citröen, Daihatsu, Fiat, Honda, Isuzu, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Opel, Porsche, Peugeot, Renault, Saab, Subaru, Suzuki, Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo.

MOMO - TODAY

Since 2005 MOMO has been head-quartered in Milan, Italy with a subsidiary in the US, MOMO USA. MOMO products are sold for the aftermarket and motor racing in over sixty countries, mainly through distributors and dealers all over the world, under the brands "MOMO" and "MOMO Corse".

MOMO is still predominantly focused on light alloy road wheels, but the Company has brilliantly carried on the business of developing innovative racing products, incorporating ambitious technological goals and continuing to improve the quality, the safety and the superior design of MOMO products.

The MOMO brand continues to be inspired by simple yet very strong values: product quality, superior craftsmanship, maximum safety standards and the highest performance levels. Design, advanced technology, quality and an exclusive image: these elements have always been the secrets of this successful Italian company, famous all over the world, MOMO.
