The seven main external providers for Elektra and Italika are: LoncinGroup, Chongquing Rato Power, RadiomóvilDipsa, AT&T, Mabe, Whirlpool, Motorola and Pegaso PCS.
Together, they represented approximately 65% of Elektra and Italika’s accumulated purchases of merchandise from external suppliers in 2020.
The company has no dependency on a particular supplier.
In particular, in Italika’s motorcycle business, as the Chinese New Year coincided in 2020 with the lockdown in China, Italika experienced delays in the supply of some components of some of its motorcycle models for only five weeks.
Since then, the supply and assembly of motorcycles has returned to normal levels.
During 2020, motorcycle sales increased 19% compared to 2019, due to people’s fear of using public transport, their lack of means to buy a car, and the use of motorcycles for the delivery of goods and services.
Italika, Elektra’s own brand of motorcycles, provides access to their own transportation to the majority of the Mexican population, allowing them to be more efficient in their daily activities in a comfortable and reliable way.
The brand also has a presence in Guatemala, Honduras and Panama.
