MV Agusta has raised an additional €40 million in funding, the Italian firm reports, bringing its total in fundraising to €50 million over the last 12 months, as the company moves past its previous financial troubles.
With the capital increase comes a change in the leadership structure at MV Agusta, with Giovanni Castiglioni continuing as the company’s President, while investor Timur Sardarov takes on the role of the company’s new CEO and Chairman of the Board.
This arrangement should mean that Castiglioni will focus on the day-to-day business of MV Agusta and its product lineup, while Sardarov will mind the company’s financial future and big-picture strategy, including the company’s new business plan.
