KTM inaugurates new facility in Philippines

KTM has further expanded its presence in Asia by inaugurating a new production facility in Philippines. The new facility will be used for production of four models - Duke 200, RC 200, Duke 390 and the RC 390. Along with deliveries to the local market, the facility will also supply all the way to China.

The creation of KTM Asia Motorcycle Manufacturing (KAMM) – a joint-venture partnership between Adventure Cycle Philippines and KTM, will initially limit production to 6,000 units annually. Over time, reports indicate that the production will be increased to 10,000 units. The inauguration of a new facility in Philippines will mean that customers in the local market will get localisation benefit and it will ease heavy tariff on motorcycles in ASEAN markets. 

In addition to a new facility, the manufacturer plans to inaugurate 30 dealerships in the ASEAN region.
