Tenneco Acquires Marzocchi
LAKE FOREST, US – The Italian suspension systems brand Marzocchi will be taken over by Tenneco Inc. The agreement announced today is the initial step in the purchase process. A final agreement and closing on a potential purchase of Gruppo Marzocchi’s suspension business is dependent on a number of conditions and the legally-required consultation with the works councils representing Marzocchi employees. Those consultations will begin immediately.
This acquisition would be made through Tenneco’s assumption of the debt associated with Marzocchi’s suspension business, which was approximately US$ 15 million as of April 30, 2008.
An acquisition by Tenneco of Marzocchi’s suspension business would leverage the brand, technology and product synergies of the two companies, providing customers with integrated suspension systems (forks, shock absorbers and elastomers) for bicycles and other applications.
Tenneco is a US$ 6.2 billion global manufacturing company with headquarters in Lake Forest, Illinois and approximately 21,000 employees worldwide. Tenneco is one of the world’s largest designers, manufacturers and marketers of emission control and ride control products and systems for the automotive original equipment market and the aftermarket.
