# MV Agusta financial crisis and production halt > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/mv-agusta-financial-crisis-and-production-halt > Updated: 2026-09-10T21:49:51.000Z. Sources: 6. Developments: 2. Italian motorcycle manufacturer MV Agusta is experiencing a severe financial crisis characterized by a production halt at its Schiranna factory in Varese. This manufacturing stoppage has been in effect since April 2026, driven by supply chain disruptions, delayed supplier payments, and a shortage of spare parts for dealers. The company’s instability follows its return to independence under the Sardarov family in early 2025 after separating from KTM. A critical factor in the current crisis is the collapse of a planned strategic partnership with the Chinese manufacturer CFMoto. The failed deal would have seen CFMoto acquire approximately 49 percent of the brand’s capital through a multi-million dollar investment intended to restructure the firm and support potential entry into MotoGP. Reports indicate negotiations ended because parties could not agree on financial terms, with CFMoto representatives allegedly citing MV Agusta’s demands as “unreasonable”. Furthermore, MV Agusta is facing a significant decline in sales. While the company previously targeted annual sales of 4,000 units, only 1,238 units had been delivered by the end of July 2026. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-10: MV Agusta faces production halt and failed CFMOTO deal MV Agusta faces a major financial crisis as production at its Varese factory has been halted since April 2026 and a potential 49% stake sale to CFMOTO has reportedly fallen through. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mv-agusta-faces-production-halt-and-failed-cfmoto-deal ### 2026-09-08: MV Agusta halts production amid sales decline and failed CFMoto deal MV Agusta has reportedly halted production at its Italian factory following the collapse of a major investment deal with China's CFMoto and a significant decline in motorcycle sales. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mv-agusta-halts-production-amid-sales-decline-and-failed-cfmoto-deal --- Cite as: MV Agusta financial crisis and production halt.
