Italian Piaggio Group intends to close its factory in Derby that is installed on Martorelles (Barcelona) and employs about 200 people. This is the only factory that the brand has in the entire state. So says
Piaggio itself in a short note in memory of the financial results for the year 2010. The financial report includes a note confirming the approval of the board of directors of the company to a "restructuring" of its European tissue including the closure of its only plant in Spain and consequent destruction of 200 jobs.
The news, which had long been feared by workers, has already reacted to union representatives, who point out that the company signed an agreement last year to maintain employment.
The possible closure of Derby is more serious by the general situation that the sector is, after you have submitted the ERE from Yamaha.
In principle, it is feared that Piaggio relocating their activities in Catalonia and take it to Italy, as Yamaha has chosen to build its plant in France.
Unlike Yamaha, Derbi has not yet submitted an ERE and has not officially announced what their plans for the Catalan factory.
Derbi is a historic milestone in the manufacture of motorcycles in Catalonia and was bought in 2001 for the Catalan family Rabassa, who opted for Piaggio to sell it impossible to continue with the company. Via
