According to a press release from Marzocchi and Tenneco, the two companies have signed a preliminary agreement to this effect. In order for the takeover to become legally valid, various interest groups, including the Marzocchi employees' association, still have to give their blessing to the deal. The two parties expect the final takeover decision to be made in September.

Marzocchi is thus bidding farewell to spring technology production after almost 60 years. In future, the Italians will focus on industrial products such as hydraulic pumps and aluminum die-cast parts. However, the Marzocchi brand name is expected to remain under the new owner Tenneco.Much better known than Tenneco are its car shock absorbers, which are sold under the name Monroe. It is therefore not particularly surprising that Tenneco expects synergies from the takeover of the world's largest manufacturer of motorcycle suspensions. Mountain bike suspensions, on the other hand, do not appear to be of great importance to the Americans. The press release states that Marzocchi manufactures "suspension systems for motorcycles and other applications".
