What Mivv does

Mivv (legal entity M.I.V.V. Metal Industria Val Vibrata S.p.A.) is an Italian manufacturer of premium aftermarket and OEM motorcycle exhaust systems, founded in 1970 and headquartered in Sant'Omero, Abruzzo, Italy. The company operates three manufacturing facilities covering 25,000 square meters and employs approximately 160 people. Its product portfolio spans multiple premium lines — GP PRO, SR-1, OVAL, MK3, Delta Race, AK-1, X-M5, and the newly introduced HR1 — built in stainless steel, carbon fiber, and titanium using proprietary titanium alloys, ultra-thin-wall manufacturing (0.6–1.0 mm), and high-temperature carbon-fiber 3K twill construction validated on semi-anechoic acoustic chambers and multiple engine test benches.

The company sells exclusively through an authorized dealer network spanning more than 40 countries, with no direct-to-consumer channel. Unit pricing ranges from roughly €366 for non-homologated racing slip-ons to over €1,280 for premium titanium/carbon complete systems. Mivv has been an OEM supplier to motorcycle manufacturers including Ducati, Aprilia, Moto Guzzi, Yamaha, and Derbi since 1990, and operates the Storm Racing Parts sub-brand for racing-focused products. The company sustains active involvement in FIM World Championship racing across MotoGP, Moto2, and Moto3 — historically with Honda Repsol (2006–2010, including Nicky Hayden's 2006 MotoGP title) and currently with Honda Team Asia in Moto3 — using competition as both a brand-building channel and a technology-development pipeline for road products. Mivv is privately held with no disclosed external investors and a stated share capital of EUR 312,000.
