KTM AG has today announced that it has expanded its relationship with its long-standing partner Bajaj and secured the Indian company as a "main" investor.Gottfried Neumeister, CEO, KTM AG said: "Today we have been given the opportunity to continue the history of KTM. Together with our long-standing partner Bajaj, we were able to work out a strategy that will enable us to raise a further 600 million euros for our new start in addition to the 200 million euros already made available. The existing sites - in particular our main plant in Mattighofen/Munderfing - will remain the basis for our future success. This means that we will continue to be an important employer for the entire region. In view of this new, second opportunity, we at KTM feel deep gratitude and humility towards all those within and outside our group of companies who have made it possible. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Stefan Pierer on behalf of all those who have accompanied us along the way. He laid the foundation for one of the world's best-known motorcycle brands, which has a unique community."
Whilst this news is certain to bring some cheer to KTM's many fans, the company still has much work to do to convince its suppliers, dealers, staff and customers that it is firmly back on track.
