Submission + - New owners take over Bimota
An anonymous reader writes: The acquisition of the legendary Rimini-based motorcycle factory was officially executed on the first days of September 2013, with the registration of the company at the Swiss Business Register. The firm has been taken over by Bimota SA, led by businessman Marco Chiancianesi, of Italian origins but operating in Switzerland for many years now in the real-estate and financial industry.
The historic brand devotees should not be concerned about the passage from Italy to Switzerland, as this involves only the new legal headquarters of the company (Lugano — CantonofTicino), while the manufacturing plant and administration offices will remain in the c premises located in Rimini (Italy).
In the past, the company gained a significant market share in the production of luxurious and exclusive motorbikes on a worldwide scale; the brand then saw a significant revival in 2003, thanks to the management of Engineer Roberto Comini, who for a decade took lead of the new ownership. Under the new management, the manufacturer re-launched some successful models, such as the DB5 bike; however, ten years later, the industry started to be affected by the global economic crisis. Hence, the injection of funds from the new ownership is fundamental in order to return be competitive and to face the global market in order to re-launch the company through a plan of investments and projects, taking up the gauntlet in order to meet future objectives.
