OEM Motorcycles in the Manaus Free Trade Zone: Production with Your Own Brand

Its own WMI, approved PPB and regulatory compliance to operate OEM motorcycles in Brazil, with no need to build your own factory.
CONCEPT

What Is an OEM Motorcycle

OEM motorcycle (Original Equipment Manufacturer) is the model in which one company manufactures motorcycles for another brand to sell under its own identity. At DBS, the OEM motorcycle operation is structured in the Manaus Free Trade Zone with DBS as the responsible manufacturer, while the brand, model, version and commercial specifications are defined by the client within the requirements applicable to the project.

The final product makes no reference to DBS. OEM motorcycle assembly exists so that the client can operate with its own identity in the Brazilian market, with regulatory compliance, auditable quality and production traceability guaranteed by DBS, without having to invest in its own industrial structure in Manaus.
