For vehicle assist equipment, there are few companies that have the global recognition that Corghi has rightfully earned. A company born in Emilia-Romagna, Italy in 1954, Corghi has since become one of the most respected enterprises in the tire changing sector.
High sales in North America led Corghi to open their own branch here in the US (Hamilton, Ohio) and despite being in North America for only 5 years; Corghi’s recognition in Europe made them an overnight success with US clients. Specializing in wheel balancers and tire changers, Corghi products are of optimum quality and are sold worldwide. This week, JMC Automotive Equipment pays tribute to company whose city of birth is that of Lamborghini, Maserati, Ferrari and Ducati.
