Since he was a boy, Armando has shown great interest for mechanics and engines and, to improve his knowledge, he began his working career first in metalworking companies in Bologna and, later, in Milan. In the Milanese capital he worked at the Caproni factories, a company at the time at the forefront of the aeronautical sector and upon his return to Bologna he found employment in the factories of the Maserati brothers, racing car manufacturers. His strong and enterprising character led him to start his own business as a craftsman who repaired motorcycles and bicycles, as well as building the latter. 

In 1946 the firstborn son Ugo Malossi joins the company by taking on the role general direction in 1957. It will be Ugo Malossi himself who will implement the change that will completely change the face of the company, moving from simple repairs to the construction of special motorcycle parts. In 1958 Ugo Malossi founded the Malossi company, starting the production of the first of the 76 product lines that the company can boast today, namely carburetor accessories: air filters and larger intake manifolds designed to enhance the engines.

In 1969 it was the turn of the second-born Sandro Malossi which takes on the marketing direction of the company and supervises all sporting events. In 1986 Andrea and Alessandra Malossi, Ugo's children and the founder's grandchildren, joined the Board of Directors with positions of responsibility: Andrew assumes the technical direction and Alexandra there sales management.
