Before founding Pagani in 1992, founder Horacio Pagani had already established Modena Design to supply the industry with components made from high-end composite materials, including carbon fiber, which was still in its infancy for production cars.
Modena Design also supplied Pagani in its early days, but as the new supercar company grew, the focus shifted away from the components company. Now, Pagani is rebooting Modena Design.
In September, Pagani announced that Modena Design now specializes in precision CNC (computer numerical control) machining for not only the automotive industry but also aerospace and biomedical sectors.
The company can produce intricate components made from aluminum, titanium, and other special metals, such as those found in parts for hip and knee replacement surgeries.
The company utilizes specialized machinery, including high-speed CNC milling centers for shaping raw materials, as well as high-precision vertical CNC milling centers. Many of these machines operate autonomously, allowing parts to be crafted around the clock. Some machines are also used for creating unique finishes, including anodizing and polished finishes.
Located at Pagani's headquarters in San Cesario sul Panaro, Italy, the company still supplies parts for Pagani's supercars, including over 700 individual parts for the latest Utopia supercar. These include items like the steering wheel, transmission linkage, and pedals, all machined from solid aluminum. Now some of that artistry may also find its way into rival supercars.
