Subject: [CR]Early Simplex production in Italy

In reading the book, "The Dancing Chain," it is noted on pages 153 and 158 that Lucien Juy (Simplex) opened a production facility in Milan Italy in the late 1940s. According to the authors of "The Dancing Chain" Simplex produced large quantities of derailleurs in Italy before moving to France. Does anyone have any further and or more specific information on the history of Simplex parts produced in Italy? When did Simplex begin and end production of derailleurs in Italy?
