Soletec

Soletec Systems head office is based in Wigston, Leicester, United Kingdom

In 1992 the founder of Soletec Systems, pioneered the first CAD/CAM systems into the UK’s ‘NHS and private’ functional foot orthotic market place.

By 1997 this company became the leading CAD/CAM orthotic manufacturing laboratory in the UK – working with and endorsed by most of the UK elite sports associations In 2003, the company approached Ecco footwear in Denmark - to do the first ever ‘trial’ of CAD/CAM technology on the high Street within their Kensington High Street store

Soletec has also worked with a city investment group to establish a new retail chain - offering footwear and comfort ‘custom’ insoles on the high street – (similar to the trial in Ecco’s shoe shop in Kensington).

Soletec commenced circa 2004 to do developmental work with Inescop Spain in regard to the futuristic Soletec systems.

Soletec Systems now has many software partners and a pro active R&D support through Inescop’s R&D Institute in Elda, Spain and Bath, Loughborough, Valencia and Alicante Universities These partnerships enable Soletec to focus on the need for the complete ‘automated footwear and insole manufacturing system’ - for 'medical' and ‘retail’ purposes.

The Soletec system software solution, is now utilised in Soletec’s own laboratory in Bath University, UK and in TPSP – Inescop’s commercial Laboratory in Elda, Spain. The system has also been demonstrated extensively in the USA to a leading foot health corporation and after trials will be placed widely into the US ‘Medical’ market.

Pinarello

2005 has been a year of a great revolution in professional cycling: the International Federation put into place the ProTour and assigned 20 licenses with these teams riding the new circuit that takes the place of the World Cup.
Pinarello has two ProTour teams for 2005, the Spanish formation Iles Balears-Caisse d´Epargne with Opera bicycles and the Italian team Fassa Bortolo with Pinarello bicycles, as well as the Continental Pro team Kaiku from Spain riding Pinarello bicycles.
The first World Championship assigned in 2005 went to the talented young cyclocross rider Davide Malacarne woh dominated the Junior World Cyclocross Championship on a Pinarello ´Cross bicycle.
But the most beautiful win of the 2005 season came on March 19th, when Alessandro Petacchi won the classic Milano-Sanremo on his Pinarello Dogma FP, equipped with a M.O.st. oversize bottom bracket.
