From 1921 Cesare Rizzato, a craftsman who built frames in Padua, began to produce under the Ceriz brand, to which the Atala brand was added followed by the prestigious Maino and Dei, which in the 60s animated the international competitive scenes as a leader . In 2002 the company took the name of Atala S.p.A and based in Monza, it is part of Accell Group since 2011, European leader in the bicycle and accessories industry.
