Norton Motorcycles' New Manufacturing Facility Nears Completion

Norton Motorcycles has revealed its new state-of-the-art production and manufacturing facility in Solihull near Birmingham, in the UK. After TVS Motor Company acquired Norton Motorcycles in April 2020, the British motorcycle brand moved its production base out of its former headquarters at Donington Hall. With Norton's parent company, TVS infusing multi million pounds of investment, the new facility will be the most advanced and state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in the iconic British motorcycle brand's 122-year-old history. The new factory is expected to be opened by March 2021 and will become operational shortly afterwards.
