Bruno Grana
In 1958 the first go-kart was built in the USA. Bruno Grana in those years was working for Moto Parilla of Italy and when he saw the go-kart, he suddenly fell in love, immediately understanding its potential. In 1959 Grana convinced Parilla to join this new market and enter the history of Karting. In 1961, together with his colleague and friend Cesare Bossaglia, he established Komet Italiana, a Company expressly dedicated to the Karting world. 1968 was the decisive year, Parilla and Komet joined together into IAME, "Italian American Motor Engineering" which name comes from the close relation with the United States. With the acquisition of the brands BM and Sirio, Bruno Grana put the basis of what is still today the asset of a worldwide known Company.
