Moto Guzzi has opened a completely revamped version of its historic factory in Mandello del Lario, Italy, marking a major new chapter for one of the world’s oldest motorcycle brands.
The company has invested more than €50 million in the project after almost five years of work. The factory remains at the same Lake Como location where Moto Guzzi was founded in 1921.
The redevelopment has increased the factory area to around 38,000 square metres, while production capacity has been raised to more than 30,000 motorcycles per year. The upgraded facility also brings modern production technology, including automation and robotics.
A major part of the project is the new 3,000-square-metre Moto Guzzi Museum, which displays more than 160 motorcycles covering the company’s long history, from early prototypes and racing machines to modern models.
The new facility was designed with architect Greg Lynn and combines manufacturing, history and visitor experiences in one site. Around 4,200 square metres of new multipurpose spaces have also been added for events and visitors.
The reopening comes as Moto Guzzi celebrates its 105th anniversary, making the timing especially important for the Italian manufacturer. The company has also introduced special 105th Anniversary editions of the Stelvio, V100 Mandello, V85 Strada and V7 Stone.
For Moto Guzzi, the investment is about more than modernising an old factory. It is an attempt to keep its traditional Italian identity while giving the brand a more technologically advanced production base for its next century.
