Lugo di Romagna, giugno 1973. L’amicizia e la passione sportiva di alcune persone, portavano al battesimo di una azienda artigiana operante nel settore ciclistico. Nell’evolversi di breve tempo, la validità di questa iniziativa, veniva confermata dai successi tecnici in campo nazionale ed internazionale nella produzione di telai e biciclette da corsa.

Brought together through friendship and their love of sports, the founders of Somec established their company in Lugo di Romagna in June of 1973.Their goal then, as it is now, was to manufacture bicycles in a tradition of quality and fine craftsmanship. Recognition of their achievement was soon to come. Within a short time, the technical superiority of Somec’s frames and racing cycles was confirmed by successes in Italy and on the international market.

Lugo di Romagna, Juni 1973: die Freundschaft und Sportbegeisterung mehrerer Personen hat zur Gründung eines Handwerksbetriebes, der in der Fahrradbranche tätig ist, geführt. Bereits nach kurzer Zeit wurde die Wirksamkeit dieser Initiative durch technische Erfolge im In- und Ausland auf dem Gebiet der Rahmen- und Rennradproduktion bestätigt.

Lugo di Romagna, Juin 1973. L’amitié et la passion pour le sport de quelques personnes ont mené à la constitution d’une maison artisanale opérant dans le domaine du vélo. Dans peu de temps, la validité de cette initiative a été confirmée par les succès techniques nationaux et internationaux dans la production de cadres et vélos de course.
