Massimo Group is transitioning its MVR Golf Cart series production to its facility in Garland, TX. The company said that by assembling the vehicles domestically, it ensures stricter quality control while strategically positioning itself within the U.S. market.
The move aligns with the company’s commitment “to delivering high-quality vehicles while adapting to the evolving trade landscape,” Massimo Group said in a media release.
“Recently, U.S. trade regulators took action against unfair practices in the low-speed personal transportation vehicle market,” the company noted. “A petition was filed highlighting how certain foreign manufacturers, benefiting from government subsidies, were able to export vehicles at significantly lower costs.” The company said this created an uneven playing field.
Following an investigation, the U.S. Department of Commerce determined that these manufacturers engaged in unfair trade practices and, as a result, imposed countervailing duties and antidumping tariffs, ranging from 149 percent to 500 percent, depending on the manufacturer.
By shifting production to the U.S., the Group reported it is “proactively addressing these trade challenges while reinforcing its commitment to high manufacturing standards.” Additionally, the Group said it is actively exploring strategic partnerships in Vietnam to diversify its supply chain and mitigate potential cost increases from tariffs affecting imports from China.
“We are committed to providing our customers with the highest quality golf carts while ensuring long-term business sustainability,” said David Shan, CEO of Massimo Motor. “Bringing production to our Texas facility strengthens our supply chain, enhances quality assurance and positions us competitively in the U.S. market. Our customers and dealer partners can continue to rely on Massimo for innovative and reliable personal transportation solutions.”
The manufacturer and distributor of powersports vehicles and pontoon boats said it would continue to offer its MVR Series golf carts through its network of retail and dealer partners across the U.S. market.
