Saxon Motorcycles - Company History

The Team

Saxon was founded by four executives from the residential home building industry. As avid motorcycle riders, they recognized the unique similarities between the early residential construction industry and the developing production custom motorcycle business. Both are characterized by small entrepreneurial companies, constrained supply chains, evolving systems and process capabilities and growing market demand for new products. By establishing strict processes and standards for containing costs, vendor and project manangement, and quality and customer service, they grew Pulte Homes into the number one home builder in the United States, producing more than 30,000 homes and $9 billion in revenues last year. This experience prepared the team to quickly tackle and become a dominant player in the production custom motorcycle industry.

The group has assembled a winning combination of team members with industry experience in design, engineering, and manufacturing. This team is dedicated to growing Saxon into one of the top manufacturers of production custom motorcycles in the world.

The Facility

Saxon operates out of a modern 40,000 square foot manufacturing facility on 9 acres in Casa Grande, Arizona. The current facility is large enough to support production volumes of up to 1200 motorcycles per year, with ample room for expansion. In house operations include Research and Development, Engineering, Paint and Power Coating, Pre-Assembly, Final Assembly, Quality Control, Accounting, Custoemr Service and Warranty.

The Production Process

When an order is placed for a motorcycle, it is entered into Saxon's proprietary production management system. This system tracks the order through the production process and provides near real time status information to employees and dealers. In order to achieve a high level of consistency in the finished product, Saxon uses a highly structured production line for final assembly of its motorcycles. In addition, numberious quality control checks and procedures are utilized and tracked in order to monitor performance trends and ensure continuous improvement. From order entry to dealer delivery, the process typically takes 8 weeks.

The Dealer Networ

Saxon's dealer network consists of an elite group of over 35 dealers in the United States and distributors in Europe, South America, and Australia. These Dealers and Distributors are selected based on a variety of qualification including location, experience, and ability to provide a high level of service to our customers. In turn, Saxon provides its dealers the support, tools, and systems they need to develop their business and ensure their long term success.
