Ceccato was an Italian motorcycle manufacturer founded in 1938 by a former pharmacist, Pietro Ceccato, who was passionate about both engines and innovative management ideas, such as making process changes using input invited from employees.[1][2] For the motorcycle Giro d'Italia and other races, Ceccato built the first of Fabio Taglioni's engines to be realized, a 75 cc OHC single designed with the help of Taglioni's Technical Institute students.[3][4] The company was active in motorcycles until the 1960s.[5] It however successfully continued producing compressors and grew over the years. Today Ceccato is an important player on the global compressed air market.
