I could be wrong- I've never visited that part of italy, but I seem to believe that Japan, then Taiwan, and now China had/has excess production capacity in their factories. If campag is not making at least some of their OE level groups, or even certain high volume parts, outside of Italy, then they are at a huge disadvantage, and not riding the horse in the direction it's pointed in. But they've done that before: index shifting, integrated shift and brake levers, mountain bike components. You know, all that crap that everyone in this forum hates and feels destroyed their comfortable little bike cult
