The Italian firm has disposed off 10000 more machines in 2015 as compared to that of 2014.

As of now, the manufacturer has got beyond 720 dealerships spread in over 90 countries.
Watching this drastic growth of the company, Claudio Domenicali, CEO Ducati, spoke, "In the course of this past financial year, Ducati demonstrated the effectiveness of the strategy followed in the past three years, based on investment in product, quality and customers. This growth is reflected not only by volumes but by all the main financial indicators and shows how the company today is solid and well prepared for future challenges." André Stoffels, CFO, Ducati, further added, "Key financials confirm that Ducati's growth is on a consistently upward curve.
