Most stories we hear these days are about US mountain biking companies moving headquarters and production overseas but this time it’s the other way around. Italian suspension maker Marzocchi is selling its mountain bike and motorcycle suspension business to US auto parts manufacturer Tenneco Inc. Tenneco is a $6 billion company headquartered in Lake Forest, IL with 21,000 global employees.
No word on whether suspension manufacturing will be moved to the US or what this will mean (if anything) for Marzocchi’s current product line. Current Marzocchi customers include Giant, Trek, Kona, Norco, Rocky Mountain, and Specialized.
