That arm of business might be in financial difficulty but all Gilera bikes are actually Piaggio-made, with Gilera branding (Piaggio owns Gilera and makes all the bikes) and Piaggio sorted out most of its own difficulties back in 2003/4.

Gilera is owned by Piaggio since 1969 (others Piaggio owned brands are Aprilia and Moto Guzzi (2004) in Italy and Derbi (2001) in Spain); in 2006 Piaggio earnings went up 85.5%.
Gilera sales: up 11.3%.
Few days ago Piaggio made announce about 25 new models (including Gilera's) coming out this year.

Mr The Fish above is correct..
Gilera are owned by Piaggio so may be going through some sort of re-branding and dropping the Gilera name.

Well Gilera are part of the massive Piaggio group and have also recently announced a 850 V-twin maxi scooter which looks the business, so I don't suppose they can be doing that bad.

I wouldn't worry to much. Gilera have gone bust and then been relaunched on three occasions in my lifetime - and I'm only 42...
