Its founder, Angelo ALFANO, then aged 32, acquired a go-kart and quickly realized a huge gap in the world of karting: there was no automatic timing system to instantly inform the driver of his performance!

The result of Angelo ALFANO's creative mind is a system with technology that is both simple and accessible to all. This innovative technology uses a magnetic strip buried in the track and a magnetic sensor connected to a display mounted on the vehicle. The importance of this invention lies in its ease of installation and simplicity of use. The magnetic strip, made of permanent magnets, provides continuous magnetic energy on its own. There's no need to connect to an electrical network, which would be very tedious and complex for circuit owners. This ingenious solution also offers drivers a considerable advantage: all they have to do is perform on the circuit and watch their displays to find out their time!

Angelo ALFANO tests his prototype at up to 480Km/h!

According to many in the industry, this innovative technology has had a profound impact on the world of motorsport, particularly karting, opening up a new era of countless possibilities! Angelo ALFANO makes it easy for anyone to track lap times in real time, with a level of precision never before possible!

Following the launch of the first models, which were only capable of detecting lap times, ALFANO S.A. launched the ALFANO PRO on the market in 1999. It's a literally revolutionary device with a customized display, renowned for its indestructibility and still present today on the vehicles of many enthusiasts. This device, sold in tens of thousands of units, is capable of recording lap times, engine temperature and engine speed (RPM)! The ALFANO PRO travels the world, enabling us to install our magnetic tapes on every track on the planet!

In 2007, a few years after the release of the ALFANO PRO, the ALFANO ASTRO was launched with a lighter version, the PRO+. The ASTRO is a data logger designed for the needs of professionals worldwide. With the same features as the ALFANO PRO, it can also detect speed, measure a second temperature, use a lambda probe, a G-force sensor and much more. With this device, ALFANO S.A. consolidates its reputation as a leader on the international market, proving its ability to listen to and fully satisfy both amateurs and professionals.

With the advent of GPS technology, we then designed a series of new products in 2013: ADS, ADM and ADL. The ADS is our first small-scale timing system with integrated GPS and Bluetooth that fully satisfies the motorcycle world. The ADM and ADL are modular devices designed to adapt to the needs of all customers, without exception. Unfortunately, due to design errors, the first series of these devices broke down. Although these problems were quickly resolved, users did not adopt them. We then decided to withdraw them from the market and produce another device, the ALFANO PRO 3, followed by the PRO 3 EVO in 2015, excellent devices but, being aesthetically very similar to the previous generation, customers mistakenly did not trust them.

That's why, in 2018, we're launching our sixth system on the market: the ALFANO 6, a brand-new device, thanks to which we're regaining our reputation as a forward-thinking company at the forefront of its sector, capable of designing and producing innovative, reliable and indestructible systems.
Angelo ALFANO tells us his secret: "When I designed and built the ALFANO 6, I felt exactly the same as I did when I built my first machine, the ALFANO PRO, which helped me conquer the world market at the beginning of my business: PASSION and DETERMINATION! For me, every day is a new challenge to go one step further and avoid resting on my laurels! The philosophy behind the design of this device is to provide the customer with a complete, intuitive and easy-to-use data logger. Thanks to our cutting-edge algorithms, all the customer has to do is install the ALFANO 6 on his vehicle and switch it on.

In 2019, our team is developing powerful data analysis applications, called ADA, that can be used on Windows PCs, IOS and ANDROID. We are the first and only company to offer customers the possibility of analyzing their data from a smartphone or tablet, thanks to powerful applications that have nothing to envy PC-based analysis systems, and which, thanks to Bluetooth communication, make it even easier to use. For our PC-savvy customers, our ADA for PC application also enables video synchronization with ALFANO 6 data, as well as the design of highly sophisticated mathematical channels.

ALFANO S.A. not only produces data loggers, it is also renowned in all areas of motorsport for its Kronos, a hand-held recorder that measures the times of up to 4 vehicles, including intermediate times.

In 2008, we created the Tyrecontrol, now in its second generation, which is a precision pressure gauge that can also measure tire temperature. It is used by major tire manufacturers such as PIRELLI F1, MICHELIN and BRIDGESTONE, as well as by F1 and touring car teams!

In 2020, Angelo ALFANO also imagined a karting pressure gauge capable not only of deflating tires, but also of inflating them, using a CO2 cartridge to make small adjustments quickly and on the spot. Tyrecontrol Air makes tire pressure management child's play.

In January 2023, Angelo ALFANO Junior joins the company as Technology Developer and Marketing Director!
