How It All Started

In the early 1950s, KONI amortisers decided to play a more important role in motor sports in order to expand the company’s reputation.In 1955, KONI first participated in the Tulpenrally, a Dutch rally organized with international status.The rally was just the beginning and shortly after, KONI suspension began its way in the races, introducing in Formula 1.In 1956, at the famous Nordschleife in Germany, KONI helped the Ferrari team solve their suspension problems.The first Grand Prix in which KONI officially participated was in 1958 with Ferrari.After that, the business expanded rapidly and in 1971, KONI achieved its first World Championship triumph as Tyrrell Ford won the Constructors Championship.Over time, KONI has not only improved the amortisation of rally and racing cars, nor has it dedicated its experience to improving amortisation in other types of commercial vehicles, and even for industrial projects such as bridges.
