Cleveland CycleWerks, the manufacturer of low-cost motorcycles, is moving manufacturing jobs from China to the United States. Scott Colosimo, the owner of Cleveland CycleWerks, purchased a huge 60,000-square-foot building in Cleveland where the company will establish its headquarters, new assembly facility, and parts distribution center. The company hopes to begin limited production in the next 24 months.
The owner says “CCW is a growing company, and we firmly believe that expanding our US manufacturing base will help stabilize quality and strengthen their technical expertise in motorcycle design, engineering and manufacturing. With more than 30 components already made in Cleveland, CCW is excited to expand our made in America parts base.”
In a previous post about Cleveland CycleWerks, I talked about how Scott Colosimo originally wanted to build motorcycles here in the United States, but instead “spent plenty of time banging his head against the wall,” trying to source parts from domestic manufacturers so he ended up making parts and assembling bikes in China. Now it seems he found a way.
According to the Thekneeslider, Colosimo already hired a full-time designer and an engineer and will soon hire employees to assemble the bikes in the new Cleveland building. Do you think Cleveland CycleWerks will attract more domestic motorcycle buyers with this move?

Manufacturing takes turns under all types of economic systems. In a free market economy, manufacturing is usually directed toward the mass production of products for sale to consumers at a profit. In a collectivist economy, manufacturing is more frequently directed by the state to supply a centrally planned economy. In mixed market economies, manufacturing occurs under some degree of government regulation.’:-:
