Guzzi rilancia a Mandello del Lario: al via il nuovo sito produttivo

Guzzi reopens its new production site in Mandello del Lario, after a 50 million investment and over five years of work. The transformation of the Moto Guzzi production facility in Mandello del Lario, spearheaded by U.S. architect Greg Lynn, marks a significant leap forward for the iconic brand. The CEO of the group, Michele Colaninno, expressed pride in the inauguration of the new era for Moto Guzzi, highlighting the comprehensive transformation of the facility and the museum area.

The project presented numerous challenges that were successfully completed through the collective effort of all involved. Moto Guzzi, one of the world's most beloved and iconic motorcycle brands, represents over a century of Italian history and continues to inspire hope for the future. The new production lines, featuring drone technology designed by the same Piaggio Group, deliver finished motorcycles for final testing.

After the interventions, the factory has expanded from its original 4,000 square meters to nearly 40,000 square meters, nearly doubling its production capacity to over 30,000 vehicles per year. This increase is thanks to massive automation and advanced generation assembly lines that churn out the house's models, coveted items for enthusiasts who often invest over 15,000 euros.

The new Moto Guzzi home integrates various dimensions, with production being just one aspect. Adjacent to the factory, in completely new spaces, a 3,000 square meter Moto Guzzi Museum is also under construction, housing over 160 meticulously restored models, from the unique G.P. prototype that began Moto Guzzi's history to current production models, legendary race bikes, and winners of 14 titles in the Moto World Championship.

The complex also includes new multifunctional spaces for public access, designed to welcome visitors from around the world. This choice is in line with the extensive community of enthusiasts surrounding the brand, with tens of thousands of people expected in Mandello in the coming days to participate in the brand's world days, as is customary every year since 2002.

For Moto Guzzi, joining Piaggio's perimeter in 2004, the investment represents a crucial step, reaffirming and reviving the historic production site that began its production over a century ago. In a unique moment, where the motorcycle segment aims for a turnaround in the second half of the year following a difficult period with a 16.5% drop in revenue and declining income (-16.5%) for the first half of the year, the group, with nearly 6,000 employees worldwide, continues to develop stable revenues.

In 2025, Moto Guzzi unveiled the new V7 family, including the special Stelvio version for the iconic Alpine pass, the V100 Wind Tunnel and V100 PFF equipped with advanced active safety systems. Production of Moto Guzzi takes place in the historic Mandello del Lario facility, which underwent deep renovation and modernization in 2025.

The new production area is already operational, and the completion of the complex, which will also include the new Moto Guzzi Museum, is expected by 2026. Sustainability: The new facility is designed with sustainable criteria, using low-impact materials and energy-efficient management systems, including photovoltaic installations.
