Most of the parts that go into Janus motorcycles come from suppliers located within just a few miles of Janus headquarters in Goshen, Indiana. Several of these suppliers are Amish, and several others have ties to the RV industry that dominates employment throughout the region. One critical component of Janus motorcycles, however — the engine — is sourced in China. This is the story of how a hyper-local supply chain lives alongside an outsourcing strategy at a distinctly American manufacturer.
