New Headquarters for Norton Motorcycles

After a long time holding it a secret, Norton Motorcycles has finally disclosed its new headquarters, located in Solihull, West Midlands, UK. The 73,000 square foot building is said to be the company’s most advanced facility in its 123-year history with the capacity to manufacture up to 8,000 motorcycles annually.

It looks like every aspect of the new facility is top-notch: spacious and bright with the state-of-the-art equipment keeping the high standards Norton is known for with their carefully crafted masterpieces. More like a museum than a workplace, Norton’s headquarters encompasses gleaming showrooms for classic race and touring bikes. What you may not see behind the scenes are the company’s labs and design hubs where the future looks as bright and shiny as the new models rolling off the assembly lines. Norton also seems especially excited about having all departments under one roof where staff members can come together and realize their ideas and inventions in a stimulating environment.

With a strong investment from TVS Motor, a multinational Indian automotive company, Norton is poised to get these beautiful motorcycles back on the market. It looks like they’re well on the way to upcoming success.
