How it all
started...
The
history of ABC goes back
almost 40 years, as in 1963 Carlo Brianza presented his first
unique models. In the beginning he only used to make single models on a
large scale, made of brass.
The aim for perfection brought him together with two other great names in
modelcar making: Michele Conti and Manuel Olivé Sans. The
step from the production of single pieces to the production of high
quality modelcar series was quite easy. In 1973, together with his wife
Ella, he founded ABC.
| His
first model with series no. ABC 01 was a Fiat Turbina, of which only
300 pieces were produced. In search for innovation and the best
materials available, all models were made as accurate as possible. |
The
Fiat Turbina ... a real collectors item!
|
This
field of expertise needed quite some development and today we are
still investing in the development of such features in our models. |
One
of the first people to use photo sketches in the creation of his models
was Carlo Brianza. He always tried to reproduce his creations as people
saw them. He also taught many people the craft and personally supported
all of those who wanted to join the world of modelcars, always being ready
to give good advice to anyone who asked for it.
After Carlo Brianza passed away in 1994, his children took over his
leading roll within the company. Now his son Andrea takes care of the
development of prototypes and his daughter Laura is running the commercial
department, still under Ella's approval and control.
