Beginning in December 2016, Velocity USA’s factory and distribution will be centralized at their world headquarters in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The move comes after 5 years of rim production in Jacksonville, Florida. As Velocity enters it’s 25th year, brothers and partners, Tom and John Black celebrate this as a continued commitment to growth and support of American made bicycle products.
The move is expected to improve product delivery time by 7 to 10 days while bringing specialized bicycle rim production jobs to Grand Rapids. The factory will join Velocity’s current distribution and wheel building facility. The combined facility will enhance research and development capabilities and continue to build on Velocity’s reputation for top-tier customer service by leveraging the state of Michigan’s long history and reputation as an innovative manufacturing hub for the United States.
Velocity anticipates this to further propel the company as a leader in quality, ingenuity, and versatility customers have come to love and expect.
