TVS Motor-owned Norton Motorcycles has announced the completion of its new global headquarters. The all-new facility houses a new global design and R&D hub.
The company claims that the new global headquarters will play a key role in Norton’s strategic growth plan.
In a press release, the company said, within just 18 months of acquiring Norton Motorcycles, TVS Motor has overseen the creation of headquarters in Solihull, West Midlands, UK.
Sudarshan Venu, Joint Managing Director, TVS Motor Company, said the opening of the new headquarters represents a significant step forward for Norton Motorcycles and is a proud moment for everyone. We are creating the foundations for a sustainable long-term future for the Norton marque.
“We are setting out to create a bold future for the company, our employees, our customers and our partners that lives up to the highest expectations, enabling Norton to once again become the real global force its legacy deserves,” he added.
Robert Hentschel, CEO, Norton Motorcycles, said, “The new facility is home to design, engineering, purchasing, sales, marketing, and support departments, as well as the highly skilled production team overseeing the build of our new generation of motorcycles. It is the perfect platform to re-energise our business as we lead the Norton brand to onward success where it will play a key role in the future of mobility.”
The headquarters is creating over a hundred new high-skilled jobs (and more in upcoming years) and will build around 8,000 motorcycles a year. The new facility is supported by the West Midlands Growth partnership, the UK Government, and is a shining example of Anglo-Indian cooperation.
