GAS GAS AND OSSA TO SHARE A FACTORY IN SPAIN
« on: March 29, 2013, 12:36:39 AM »


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.

VERY good business idea, pool workers/facilities to increase revenue/business overall performance

I am chomping at the bit to ride one of those ossa 300s. I would love to see someone do an mx conversion. All in good time.

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.

Yes indeed, think a bit. Think of all that the Spanish industrialists have had to deal with since the dawn of the motorcycle industry in Spain and be thankful that there is anyone left.
