The company Cariboni was founded in 1984 by a very experienced Italian sail racer, Giovanni Cariboni.

He thought about handling the existing high forces in sailing boats with hydraulic systems that would increase their competitiveness and developed his technology over time up to today's high-tech designs.

His first important project was the "Wallygator" project, which he started in 1992.

Today, trophy boats, such as the America's Cup, Vendee Globe, Volvo Ocean and TP 52, are equipped with Cariboni products throughout. The most glaring examples of this are in 2009;

Cariboni is the official supplier of BMW Oracle Racing,
At Louis Vuitton Thropy, the ITA 90 and ITA 99 are equipped with Cariboni systems,
Volvo Ocean winner Ericsson 4 equipped with Cariboni systems,
IMOCA 60 World Champion "Safran" boat is equipped with Cariboni systems.
