MZ: historical German brand closes its doors

German manufacturer MZ, one of the most historic and well-known throughout the world, is the next to definitively stop production of its motorcycles.
On December 31 2008, the dream will be over, as since the brand’s takeover in 1996 by investors, it has been in loss for a long time.

Come the end of the year, 40 people will be forced to find new jobs.

MZ has always worked with great professionalism and energy, even through the second world war and the subsequent 40-year rule of the communist regime in East Germany.

The only German two-wheel manufacturer to remain is now BMW.
