MV Agusta is nu in handen van PIERER Mobiity AG, oftewel het overkoepelend bedrijf achter de KTM-merken. Dat maakte het merk bekend in onderstaand persbericht. Timur Sardarov, de grote geldschieter sinds de laatste bedrijfsherstructurering, blijft actief als vice-directeur, terwijl Hubert Trunkenpolz (de T uit KTM) voortaan voorzitter wordt. Wat dit concreet betekent voor de toekomst van MV is nog koffiedik kijken, al spreekt het voor zich dat het exclusieve Italiaanse merk kan profiteren van KTM’s veel grotere internationale structuur.
