What we compare	Puch	Aprilia
Country in archive	Austria	Italy
Founded	1899	1945
Founder	Johann Puch	Alberto Beggio
Headquarters	Graz, Styria, Austria	Noale, Veneto, Italy
Name origin	The company is named after its founder, the industrialist Johann Puch (1862-1914), who started in Graz with bicycles before the firm moved on to engines, motorcycles, mopeds and cars.	Wikipedia states that Aprilia was named after the pre-war Lancia Aprilia, a car. The company was founded by Cavaliere Alberto Beggio in Noale, near Venice, so the name is not a family surname.
