Since he was a boy, Armando has shown great interest for mechanics and engines and, to improve his knowledge, he began his work 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 repairman of motorbikes and bicycles, as well as a builder of the latter. 

In 1946 the firstborn son Ugo Malossi joins the company taking over general direction in 1957. It will be Ugo Malossi himself who implements the turning point that will completely change the face of the company 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 accessories for carburettors: air filters and oversized intake manifolds suitable for strengthening engines.

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