1990 - 1993

Foundation

As often happens for companies in the sector, the PMT was born from a passion: driving radio-controlled model cars. It all began in the 1980s when Alessandro Pauselli, followed by his father Umbro, began to try his hand at driving radio-controlled racing cars.

In the racing sector, we are always looking for the best performance and therefore, the best materials. In fact, not satisfied with the tires that the market offered at that time, dad Umbro used his skills to develop the first tires made with rubber compound instead of a sponge. The first prototypes were made, as in the best traditions, in the home garage and with the contribution of all members of the family.

Soon, that intuition of Mr Umbro Pauselli, initially developed only to meet his son’s request, was transformed into a production activity performed with self-produced machinery and at an artisanal level.

The first productions had a unanimous consensus from the whole R / C community and gave way to the foundation, in 1990, of PMT – Pauselli Model Tires which immediately began to be recognized as a brand of excellence in the world of modeling.

And this is how PMT was born from intuition and natural propensity of Mr Umbro Pauselli to “ go a little further”.
