TecnoPower is a new and fresh company however the people inside and behind this company are adding-up a lot of experience, beside this experience there is also the will to make a high quality and “Just Better” product!

• Rody Roem(former World and European Champion) Rody has not only more then 30 years of racing experience behind, he is also well known in the RC Industry. Besides being a high class racer he has also been the creator of RB Products and the now world famous RB Concepts engines
• Sergio Rossi(a high class engineer) Sergio is well known in the Italian racing scene, this because at the the highest competition levels the engines realized by him have been outperforming others. His engineering and high quality production skills will ensure the best quality of out engine production.

• May 26th, 2009 GRP Gandini engine factory destroyed in fire.

As you probably may have heard already last Tuesday 26th of May, our factory was completely devastated and destroyed by a serious fire. Fortunately, nobody got injured amongst any of the Gandini’s members or workers.
In the next days, as soon as we have recovered from our physical and mental shock, we will take stock of the situation from the technical point of view, to understand what we can do to rebuild ourselves and restart from this huge set-back.
In spite of our deep sadness and sorrow for what has happened, our first thought and thank goes to all those persons who in many ways have expressed and shown their sympathy and support during that horrible night and the following days.
Our will and hope is to be able to restart again soon, and we are working round the clock, if needed to make it happen and not to lose completely the work of the last 20 years. However, we will keep you updated soon on the schedule of our resumption.
In faith,
Maurizio and Stefano Gandini

• June 17th, 2009 The end of GRP Engines

Following our official statement dated 1st of June, after the horrible event which has involved our factory, we have managed to reorganize ourselves and to constitute a new company which has taken over the tire project, to follow up the production under GRP brand. The most important thing is that our staff has not changed since both Gandini’s are always in charge of the GRP Tyres’ project, to guarantee once again quality products, which has always distinguished GRP brand.
Concerning our engine line we have decided to cease the production for good, mainly because all machinery and tools were destroyed in the fire along with all our stock of spare parts.
We do apologize for all inconvenience caused and we take this occasion to thank once again all drivers, customers and friends who are encouraging us to keep going in this difficult time.
In faith,
Maurizio & Stefano Gandini
