The company was founded in 1996 and went out of business in 2007.[2]
The company was an Italian Società a responsabilità limitata (Srl), a limited liability company.[1]
In 2004 Fly Castelluccio was noted as being the largest manufacturer of its type in Italy and that it was poised to become the largest in Europe. Reviewer Rene Coulon in 2003 described the company as "the most refreshing manufacturer in this field" and noted their wide presence at all major shows globally.[1]
The company produced an extensive range of aircraft, that by 2007 included ten paramotor models, one ultralight trike, three powered parachutes, three lines of paragliders and an emergency parachute model.[1][3]
