Meet the Business Owner: Hostettler G.
What began more than 100 years ago with a small repair shop for bicycles in Switzerland has now become an international group of independent companies. In 2014, IXS USA, Inc. became the latest addition to this diversified group of companies. The foundations for today's businesses were laid in 1966 with the formation of the parent company Hostettler AG (HQ). Two years later Yamaha Motorcycles appointed Hostettler AG as their sole distributor for Switzerland.
In 1972 Hostettler Autotechnik AG, distributor of OEM quality products from leading manufacturers was formed followed by Intercycle, a leading player in the Swiss bicycle industry and IXS Motorcycle Fashion (apparel & accessories, 1979), Hostettler Motoren AG (ATVs and snowmobiles) in 1987 and Hostettler GMBH, worldwide distribution center for the entire group in 1991.
In response to positive global market developments, the decision was made to extend the distribution of the IXS fashion brand of apparel to the USA market.
