Rome's move will limit the influence of its largest investor, China's Sinochem which has a 37% stake. China is the third-largest market for Bergamo-based Brembo, after the United States and Germany. "If China should somehow retaliate, it wouldn't be just Brembo to suffer, but the whole Italian economy," the source said, referring to the extensive business interests of Italian companies in China. PUTTING THE BRAKES ONAnalysts have speculated about a possible long-term plan to merge Brembo and Pirelli, two of Italy's largest components suppliers in the automotive industry. Pirelli has a market cap of around 4.5 billion euros ($4.9 billion), broadly in line with 4.8 billion euros for Brembo.

MILAN, June 20 (Reuters) - Italy's Brembo (BRBI.MI) is to move its legal headquarters to the Netherlands and strengthen its loyalty share scheme in a move aimed at increasing M&A opportunities, the premium brake maker said on Tuesday. The announcement follows similar moves by other major Italian companies, including Ferrari (RACE.MI), Exor (EXOR.AS), Mediaset (MFEB.MI) and Campari (CPRI.MI), to establish in the Netherlands to enjoy the benefits of the country's favourable loyalty share legislation. Brembo's tax residence will remain in Italy while its shares will continue to be listed in Milan, the group said. "Brembo intends to continue to grow and remain a competitive key player in the global automotive market that is currently undergoing a great transformation," he said.
