November 8, 2011 Small Business news in Sonoma,California, United States of America

American Artisan Bicycles has launched the first nonprofit carbon bicycle manufactures cooperative in the US. Its focus is on manufacturing innovative carbon bicycles that are competitive with Asia.




FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sonoma, California, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) November 8, 2011 --

To achieve success, Founder and President John Eggers, Ph.D. says; “We have developed a new, paradigm breaking composite molding technology that has the potential to change how carbon bicycles are made.” Our approach (patent in progress) allows for new levels of precision, quality, and customizability using prepreg aerospace materials in bicycle frame production. Our just released “I”, “Y”, “X” internal ribbed carbon bicycle frame tubing is proof positive for the viability of this approach. We can build carbon bicycles in the US that are competitive with the imports and create much need manufacturing jobs in the process.”

Dr. Eggers also reports, “Less than 1% of all bikes sold in the USA were made here. In fact, less than !% of all bikes sold worldwide were made here. That is a tragedy for our economy that many of us are already experiencing on a daily basis. We want to change this by manufacturing carbon bicycles and carbon frame tubing for other domestic bicycle producers here. We want the manufacturing jobs that shortsighted executives outsourced to China and Taiwan back. For every one US manufacturing job we create, four more are created in support industries (US Commerce Dept.). Thus, the 3 new jobs created by the cooperative immediately are actually 15 in terms of local economic impact. This is a key example of how a local grassroots campaign can make a difference in creating jobs and improving the quality of peoples' lives without any government help or tax dollars spent.
