Hard work and a dream.
That’s what established American Kawasaki Motorcycle Corp. in 1966. The first headquarters, an old meat warehouse in Chicago, was a humble beginning for the factory team sent to open the U.S. market. They started with practically nothing—no customers, no distributors and no image. But they had something more important: a strong desire to succeed and a promise from the factory to supply the best products. More than a half-century later, we’re still riding strong. Today, KMC’s annual revenue tops $1.6 billion, with approximately 480 employees and more than 1,100 dealers.

Your health and wellness are important to you – and to us. That’s why we provide an impressive benefits program that features medical/dental/vision/life insurance, 401(k), flex spending account, generous time off, educational assistance, ongoing training and development and a team member product purchase program.
