SURFLEX S.RL. is an Italian company established in 1950 by Giuseppe Rimoldi, formerly under the name G. Rimoldi & C. S.R.L. It was the first Italian company to produce clutches for motorcycle use, and it is now the only one dealing mainly in small clutches to fit motorcycles and light agricultural machines.
As soon as the company was founded, a permanent research department was opened, which over the years has developed organic and sintered material for linings.
The first sinter bonded plate was successfully tested on the race-track in the 1960s by Giacomo Agostini in his MV Agusta!
The success in competitions and the high quality of the products, sold worldwide under SURFLEX® brand name, brought forth a considerable raise in demand so that a second factory had to be built in 1972.
Since then, considerable new investment has been continuously made to increase the range of products, to improve research and processing procedures in order to meet the more and more exigent requirements of the market and to allow the components and assemblies to be completely machined in the facilities with home-designed and -built equipment and tools.
The company policy of zero defect production for full customer satisfaction was recognized in 1995, when they were granted ISO EN 9001 Certification.
