To support this, it has opened the Advanced Development and Prototyping Center in Guimarães, a project supported by the Dipe real estate corporate department.
To back its growth plans, Famel has secured around 2.5 million euros from the Novus fund, managed by Magnify Capital Partners in partnership with Banco de Fomento and private investors.
Founded in 1949, Famel launched its first motorcycle in 1975 (the XF-17). After undergoing bankruptcy and revitalization, the company now focuses on innovation and sustainability, moving towards the production of electric motorcycles.
Joel Sousa, Famel’s CEO, said: ‘This new phase marks a crucial moment in Famel’s history. We intend to continue honoring the brand’s legacy, but with our eyes on the future through innovation and sustainability. Our partnership with Dipe was essential to finding a solution that aligned our ambitions with the business’s strategic needs. Guimarães offers us the perfect environment to grow and innovate’.
From Dipe Real Estate, CEO Diogo Baptista Antunes commented: ‘Supporting the operation that places a company with Famel’s prestige in a technological facility in Guimarães was a challenging process. These new facilities, with a strategic location and a space that meets its future needs, showcase Dipe’s ability, through its Corporate department, to implement and drive brands or businesses according to their primary demands.
