Spanish motorcycle manufacturers Ossa and Gas Gas are in talks about a joint factory for production of both brands. The facility will be the current Gas Gas factory in Girona, Spain. By combining Ossa and Gas Gas production the factory can increase its volume from 9000 units per year to 15,000. Plus, the joint production will increase employment in the region from 130 to 200 workers. They are not currently talking about merging the two brands, just sharing space.

The Spanish are doing everything they can to keep the motorcycle industry alive in Spain. A shame really.
A Shame?
It's what you do - do everything you can, to stay in business, and grow your business.
This has been a while in the making.
At first, a year or so back, Drongos took it as Gas Gas buying out Ossa - when it was just a co-operation agreement.
Better facilities / better use of facilities / buying power, labour, distribution / freight costs, etc , etc , etc.
Good thinking. Logical thinking.
Good on Both Companies.
Perhaps people would prefer to see one, or both hit even harder times, and go belly up?
Think a bit, if you can.

Gas Gas and Ossa, existing, and trying, is No Shame.
It's bloody great.
