U.S. suspension firm Tenneco, which produces Monroe shock absorbers, has bought Group Marzocchi’s suspension business for US$15 million (£8.5 million).

• Suspension in the MCN shop
• Shop for over 45,000 products

Marzocchi’s suspension arm supplies original equipment to manufacturers including BMW, Harley-Davidson, Ducati, MV Agusta, and the Piaggio Group, as well as supplying a range of aftermarket products.

Tenneco’s boss Hari Nair said the firm would use Marzocchi’s expertise to provide integrated suspension systems for motorbikes, including forks, shocks, and elastomers.
