Villa Medici del Vascello immediately catches your eye with its magnificence and uniqueness, in a single glance combining the austere forms of mediaeval fortress architecture and the refined elements typical of suburban noble villas, of which it is one of the most interesting examples in the entire province of Cremona. Rich in history and embellished by the adjacent lush English-style park-garden, it was purchased by the Municipality of San Giovanni in Croce in 2005 and later restored and rescued from the degradation caused by a long period of neglect, and, as of May 2014, opened to the public....

Active history The year was 1991, and Alberto Griffini and his partner Giorgio Buoli who, thanks to their passion and determination, began this adventure in a farmhouse where they built the first liquid-cooled engines for 6-speed 125 Go karts (40 hp) and a twin-cylinder engine for ultralights (68 hp). After a few years, one September day they decided together to embark on an ambitious challenge, bordering on the impossible while having to compete with giants on the market: designing and building brushcutter engines for which power and durability was to be the main objective. It was on 10 January...

ACTIVE's first headquarters in 1991 at the farmhouse owned by Alberto Griffini's father Production is always subject to technological renewal. In fact, from 1996 until today, production has been controlled by numerically controlled machining centres, automatic lathes and vertical warehouses for storing individual components. ACTIVE's in-house technical departments keep product quality under control on a daily basis thanks to numerous dimensional control instruments, while energy efficiency and fluid dynamics studies continue to be validated in the experimental test room. Our main objective has...

Technological development Environmentallysustainable In 2010, ACTIVE, in line with its philosophy of searching for new products and increasingly functional and environmentally-friendly technical solutions, decided to equip itself with a roof entirely covered with photovoltaic panels. ACTIVE is now energy self-sufficient throughout the entire production process and contributes to an environmentally-sustainable form of development.

Research and Development ACTIVE is equipped with the best CAD design systems, specific material testing programs, component durability, mechanical and thermal stress analysis, 3D printers and fluid dynamics analysis. Thanks to collaboration with the universities of Milan and Turin, ACTIVE has achieved excellent results in the study of 2-stroke engines both in terms of reducing specific fuel consumption and in the considerable increase in specific power. Experimentation and endurance tests ACTIVE has equipped itself with test rooms for the study and experimentation of low emission and long-life...

Production and Quality The most modern CNC machine tools in the company guarantee speed and precision in machining. Constant automatic checking of measurements using 3D instruments keeps the quality of parts under control. Assembly ACTIVE assembles and checks all machines and each engine is tested at the end of the line.
