Brammo Announces Manufacturing Partnership

With a network of facilities located in 30 countries around the world, Flextronics provides manufacturing and logistics services to companies seeking large-scale production on an international scale. The Singapore-based company may not be a household name, but Flextronics manufactures products belonging to some of the world’s largest brands. Flextronics manufactures products including Helwlett-Packard printers, Eastman Kodak cameras, and Microsoft’s Xbox 360 video game system, as well as cell phones for Motorola, Sony-Ericsson and Research in Motion Blackberries.

According to Bramscher, over 60% of the cost behind Brammo motorcycles are in electronics and associated technology, making Flextronics a logical choice given its international reach and experience with electronics. Brammo will transition all of its manufacturing to Flextronics while focusing its facility in Oregon on product development and marketing. Bremmo vehicles will be assembled in North America, Europe and China, though final manufacturing sites remain to be determined.

“Brammo offers one of the most innovative, electric two-wheeled vehicle product lines in the marketplace and we are delighted that they have selected Flextronics as their exclusive partner for the manufacture of state-of-the-art electric motorcycles. This strategic partnership allows us to further expand our portfolio for battery powered vehicles and complements our strong expertise in high voltage and energy recuperation applications for the automotive market,” says Herbert Schoeffmann, president of Flextronics Automotive. “We look forward to this very exciting partnership, where we will provide Brammo with our world-class global resources, strong vertical integration capability and supply chain logistics enabling Brammo to achieve its ambitious growth plan.”
