The following email is in reply to a question I asked Jesse over at Eagle Tools about Agazzani's new owners.
Jesse said it all.

Hi Roger,
In response to your question about Agazzani in Italy:
The reputable German company, PANHANS, has recently purchased AGAZZANI.
For years, Panhans has been the distributor for Agazzani in Germany.
Now Panhans will produce these bandsaws in their own factory along
with the other high quality woodworking machines Panhans has been making
for over 60 years.

I am encouraged to know that Panhans intends to continue the Agazzani tradition
by building the bandsaws following the original factory materials and specifications.
Panhans personnel spent several days in training in Italy at the Agazzani factory.
Mr. Carlo Agazzani started making bandsaws in Italy in 1938. After his death,
family members continued to guide the work at Agazzani. The era of the
family owned Agazzani factory began coming to a close upon the
death of Mr. Carlo Agazzani’s wife, a few months ago.
Note: The old Agazzani factory in Carpi, Italy is being closed (liquidated)
because the manufacturing is being transferred to Germany where Panhans
has their own manufacturing facility.
