Catrike Factory Tour -The Peak of Made-In-America Quality

Catrike is the ONLY brand that manufactures. EVERY other Trike brand outsources -Mainly to Asia. Catrike's Mark Egeland gave RecumbentPDX a factory tour! So, what does the peak of Made-in-America quality look like? Mark walks us through Catrike's Toyota Production Method. Not a spec of dirt. Not a single wasted step. Not an ounce of wasted material. Catrike design-builds many of its factory machines and ALL of its cutting, coping and welding jigs. Most importantly, watch how organized and relaxed Catrike's self-managed production staff is. Catrike Founder Paulo Camasmie, making a cameo, says of Mark, "He does all this stuff so I don't have to! And he does it really well!" Mark knows every inch of that factory floor. Janet and I got the opportunity to personally thank the engineers, welders, fabricators, powder coaters, assemblers, wheel builders and support staff who make the Catrikes we love to sell and ride!
