KTM sets new production record

KTM say that annual unit production at their Mattighofen, Austria based factory exceeded 100,000 for the first time in 2014.

KTM say the successful launch of their 1290 SuperDuke has been crucial to their current achievments

At 9 a.m. on December 17th, a 2015 model year KTM 1190 Adventure rolled off the assembly line to become the 100,000th motorcycle produced there in the calendar year, taking total production to more that 1.2 million vehicles since the facility started production in 1999.
In November the company had announced that it had sold 115,731 bikes (+29.1 percent) at an increase in revenue to €644.8 m EUR (+20.4 percent) with EBIT of +34 percent at €61.3 m. for the first three quarters of their financial year - the highest nine month sales and revenue performance in the company’s history.

KTM say this gave them an 8.4 percent market share in Europe for the period, with the "the successful launch of the new 1290 SuperDuke and the sales start of
the new Husqvarna model range among the factors that were crucial to our success".
