Malaguti was founded in 1930 by Antonio Malaguti and the company is based in San Lazzaro di Savena. The company had to suspend production in the face of hostilites during World War 2, and the Malaguti family spent some time taking cover in the mountains from the retreating German army. The Malaguti factory did, however, escape the worst of the Allied bombing efforts, as it was not considered a threat (unlike the Ducati factory, which was devastated by allied bombing raids).
During the 50's the company branched out into producing a wide range of goods as well as selling many items to the German company Sachs. During the 60's and 70's Malaguti exported more than two-thirds of their initial scooter model to Vietnam (The model was named the 'Malaguti Saigon'). The company also exported a significant number of machines to the USA during the OPEC oil embargo.
During the 80's and 90's Malaguti remained 100% family run and owned, despite some difficult times for the motorcycle and scooter indusrty in general. The company was ranked third in Italy in terms of production for small displacement motorcycles and scooters.
Malaguti is currently run by the founder's grandson, Antonio Malaguti II with Marco Malaguti as vice president.
