Horacio Anasagasti

He won an academic award and was able to travel to Milan, where he attended a course at the Isotta Fraschini company, returning to Argentina with a car of that brand.

The company was a precision mechanical workshop that offered repair and sale of car engines, airplanes and agricultural vehicles.

The engineer Antonio Bianchi wrote an article for the newspaper La Prensa where he told the story of Anasagasti y Cía.

That same year, he traveled to France and bought engines and molds from the Ballot brothers, which he used to begin manufacturing bloks, crankcases, crankshafts, speed boxes, differentials, suspensions and bodies.

Anasagasti was influenced by the new social theories of the early twentieth century; his factory was the first in the country with the 8-hour work day, the company's salaries were among the highest in the Argentine industry.
