Company history
In 1974 Rossin was founded. Mario Rossin and four other partners are involved in the “Project Rossin”. Mario Rossin worked as a frame builder for Colnago for many years .
One of the founding partners saw the label of the Italian beverage brand Royal Cola and had an initial idea. The logo of the ski brand Rossignol Skis also inspired the founders. This is how the typical Rossin “R” was developed. The surrounding Pentagon refers to the five founding fathers.
In 1992 the company was sold to Finross and the Rossin brand was continued by Finross . In the 2000s, the trademark rights went to the bicycle manufacturer Gruppo Bici srl. in Cesena. From 2011 until the bankruptcy in 2016, bikes of the Rossin brand were again manufactured by Gruppo Bici.
