March 11, 201115 yr Oh dear ! Not what we need to hear - I hope someone can get some clarification on this quickly so that the brand doesn't suffer from any adverse commentry. I hope that Mr Birkett can quickly respond to this with some positive news and put this to bed as soon as possible. Here's to OSSA's continuing. Edited March 11, 201115 yr by Scoobydo
March 11, 201115 yr after the closure of Derby and Yamaha Derbi have closed? The one Spanish motorcycle manufacturer that weathered the storm of the early '80's has closed? Derbi have been a fixture for years. What a sad turn of events. *edit* I see that the Catalunian plant has been closed and manufacturing outsourced to Vietnam.

March 12, 201115 yr I think this is more about the locations ability to subsidise ossa. ie if they stay put no euro grant, if they move free new factory ?
March 12, 201115 yr I think this is more about the locations ability to subsidise ossa. ie if they stay put no euro grant, if they move free new factory ? Thats how it reads to me also. Why use your own money when you can use someone elses. It would be nice to read a Queens English version though. Can't make no dosh ere we're out of ere mate.

Can't make no dosh ere we're out of ere mate. It's common for any company in any country to welcome government money. There's nothing more coveted by government is to see their constituents working and paying tax dollars. "Ossa Difficulty"?? - I think should read "Ossa using standard business practices". Maybe they should set up shop beside JTG, seems there R&D and government money available in their province.
March 14, 201115 yr Link to article Thanks, what I am told is Derby moved to Italy on a better offer, with Ossa on the cusp of their new enduro you can only imagine the offers they might get to move and expand their facities.

Derbi is owned by Piaggio so a move from Martorellas to Italy is logical. Yamaha recently shut down production in Spain and consolidated Euro production in France, similar to what Honda did a while back (in Italy).
