Peruzzo

What Peruzzo does

Peruzzo srl is an Italian family-owned manufacturer founded in 1972 in Rossano Veneto (Vicenza), specializing in vehicle-mounted bike carriers and cycling accessories. The company originally produced chain covers (copricatena) but pivoted in the late 1980s to car bike carriers following the mountain bike boom. Its core product portfolio spans towball, roof, rear, and 4x4 mounted bike carriers, complemented by roof bars and boxes, ski/kayak/SUP carriers, and indoor bike storage solutions including wall-mounted racks, floor stands, and maintenance stands. Two products carry worldwide patents: the Trail Angel (towball-mounted child bike carrier) and the Cool Bike Rack (wall-mounted storage system). All production is 100% Made in Italy at the Rossano Veneto facility, with products holding TÜV-GS certification and European type approval.

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market model combining direct-to-consumer e-commerce (shop.peruzzosrl.com), an Italian reseller program ('Diventa rivenditore') with preferential pricing, and international distribution partners spanning 55+ countries across Europe, North Africa, Asia, and South America. International markets generate over 70% of revenue. Pricing is unit-based with products ranging from approximately €4.51 (small spare parts) to €391.83 (premium e-bike carriers like Atlantis 2). The company also operates a GP Brand sub-brand for its Saturn modular kit concept and maintains a 204-SKU spare parts catalog that supports long product lifecycles. The company is a private limited company (srl) with €100,000 in social capital, 11-50 employees, and no external institutional investment or parent company disclosed.
