Maugrafix Information

November 2004: on a gray day I looked at my model, ready for some time, with the inability to race because of the mud: the bodyshell was covered with stickers placed here and there, but they were all uneven and the effect was a patchwork of mismatched. Then I thought: why can not print my decals, all the same, in the right measures and matched each other? The step from that afternoon to the birth of Maugrafix was not easy.

Dedication, patience, love and tenacity have been the weapons to make the company grow to this day. It's been years since the first name made for a customer (Alessandro Artusi to be precise) and the first two factory drivers: Alex Laffranchi and Joseph ...
