The
very first production Triumph motorcycle went on sale to the public in April
1902, starting one of the world’s richest and most exciting brand stories; a
story that has gone on to encompass countless legendary motorcycles, and
playing a significant role in shaping the motorcycle world we enjoy today.
Triumph’s
modern era began in 1990 with a completely original range of motorcycles
designed and built in a brand new, state-of-the-art factory at Hinckley.
In
the three decades since, Triumph has built and sold more motorcycles than at
any previous time in its history through an international network of more than
700 dealers in 57 countries.
And
despite recent challenges, the passion for Triumph shared around the world by
owners, riders, fans and dealers has made the last 12 months the most
successful ever, with more than 75,000 bikes registered globally and a turnover
of £650 million.
Today
Triumph operates across five manufacturing facilities, all managed and led by
the global headquarters in Hinckley, Leicestershire, where every Triumph is
conceived, prototyped and tested in Triumph’s centre of design excellence by
our in-house team. The most recent
addition to Hinckley’s impressive infrastructure is an all-new UK assembly
plant, built to enhance Triumph’s global manufacturing flexibility and
complement the existing multi-million-pound paint shop and rapid prototyping
facilities.
A
truly global operation Triumph has 13 sales and marketing offices around the
world, manufacturing and production facilities located in Thailand, where the
company has its own casting, injection-moulding, machining and assembly
facilities, and plants in India and Brazil, which assemble bikes destined for
local markets.
Triumph’s
Factory Visitor Experience at Hinckley, opened in 2018, invites visitors to get
a taste of Triumph’s manufacturing expertise as well as showcasing the most
important collection of motorcycles from the iconic British firm’s past and
present.
From
January 2022 Triumph will invite fans from all over the world to join the
factory in celebrating the pure spirit of motorcycling, in a series of stories,
meet-ups and special events throughout the year
The
Triumph Factory Visitor Experience is free to visit and is located at Triumph’s
HQ in Hinckley, England and is open daily Wednesday through Sunday, from 10am -
4.30pm.
