On January 1, 2007, MacLean Quality Composites Poway, Calif. facility will become a part of N.Y.-based Serotta Competition Bicycles. The transition is the result of months of discussions between the collective management teams of MQC and Serotta. Serottas annexation of the Poway facility stems directly from these talks as Serotta sought to increase its presence in composites, while MQC continues to both strengthen and streamline its operations by concentrating efforts on its two main facilities in Salt Lake and China.
As part of the agreement, Serotta will retain employment of the Poway staff headed by lead engineer Mike Lopez. Under the agreement, Lopez will continue to provide engineering and consulting services to MQC and its customers on an on-call basis. According to Lopez, “this coordinated transition is a win, win, win result for all parties involved.”
