[4] At a race held in Gijón, Avello approached MV's Spanish promoters and convinced them to transfer manufacture of the machines to his factory.

The Italian parent company became involved and a range of machines based on 125 & 150 cc engines were designed.

[6] The factory began to diversify in 1961, making components for Authi, Barreiros, Renault and Vespa, and machinery for export.

Towards the end of the 1960s, MV were moving away from small capacity machines to concentrate on larger, multi-cylinder engine motorcycles.

Avello contacted Steyr-Daimler-Puch, who made mopeds and light motorcycles under their Puch brand.

[15] An agreement was reached, and in March 1970, the share capital of Avello was increased and Steyr-Daimler-Puch obtained 50% ownership of the company.

[14] The move was opposed by the three Spanish motorcycle factories Derbi, Vespa and Lambretta, who offered Avello a collaboration plan to produce components for their machines instead of assembling Suzuki products.
