After just a few months of operation, Husqvarna Motorcycles North America, Inc. is pleased with the re-launch of the Husqvarna brand in Canada.
Husqvarna’s origins in the Canadian market date back to the late 1960’s, when a few motorcycles were imported into the country. As more and more product began to arrive on Canadian soil, Husqvarna quickly became a household name among local motocross and offroad enthusiasts. After five decades Husqvarna continues to exercise its core values, focused upon its Scandinavian heritage, racing emphasis and premium stature.
The history of Husqvarna adorns the walls of the newly established Canadian Husqvarna office located in the Greater Montreal, Quebec area. With the ongoing implementation of new staff and dedicated efforts, there is no doubt that the Husqvarna brand will succeed in the Canadian marketplace.
In recent months, Husqvarna Motorcycles North America, Inc. has established a sizeable network of 22+ experienced authorized dealerships throughout Canada. Already, the retail sell-through of the model year 2014 units, the first to be produced in Austria in the KTM Group’s production facility, has been extremely positive. “The first steps of the new Husqvarna products in Canada are quite promising. Our Dealers, as well as our entire team, are extremely excited with this new endeavor” explains Florian Burguet, Managing Director of Husqvarna Motorcycles in Canada.
Husqvarna Motorcycles North America, Inc. has already experienced a solid start in the Canadian sales of Parts, Garments and Accessories (PG&A). An achievement made possible through the state of the art distribution center located in Ohio.
As one of Husqvarna Motorcycles core values, racing both locally and internationally will continue to flourish with newly developed partnerships with various Canadian offroad and motocross racing teams. Including long-time partner Corner Grass Racing Team (CGRT) located in Alberta. It was also recently announced that in 2015 Husqvarna Motorcycles North America, Inc. will engage in Supercross and Motocross racing. Both racing platforms will catapult the brand into a household name among racing and non-racing enthusiasts.
