The parent company Tenneco already threatened to close the plant near Bologna a few years ago. However, after lengthy discussions, the production facility was retained. Now Tenneco wants to withdraw completely from the two-wheeler business. No official statement has yet been published. The products still in stock will be processed, after which the end will probably follow for the traditional manufacturer. Marzocchi presented the new 350 Plus suspension fork and the EPD dropper post at the Sea Otter Festival last week.

Update

According to a statement by Stefano Migliorini (Bicycle Division Marketing Manager), Marzocchi's bike division is in a relatively good economic state. The company is also committed to maintaining support for the products delivered over the next two years. In all likelihood, there will be no major changes at Marzocchi until 2018. What happens after that depends heavily on sales over the next two years. It remains to be seen whether Tenneco will then, as announced, end the complete production of mountain bike and motorcycle suspension forks.
