Another US motorcycle maker may move some production
"The US is where the Action is!" US President Donald Trump tweeted on Tuesday when he again criticized motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson for shifting some production overseas because of retaliatory European Union tariffs against US products.
Now another top-selling US-based motorcycle manufacturer - Polaris Inc, maker of Indian Motorcycles, Harley's main competitor - is considering moving some production because of the tariffs. The move would be from Spirit Lake, Iowa, to a plant the company owns in Poland.
"The recent EU retaliatory tariffs have required us to expend time, energy and resources to evaluate mitigation plans, including the possibility of moving production of Indian Motorcycles destined for Europe from Iowa to our facility in Poland," spokeswoman Jess Rogers wrote in an email last week to the Minneapolis-St Paul Business Journal.
