BCA production in Manning and Clarendon County’s claim to fame for the longest time has Manning in 2018 been fishing for the large striped bass in Lake Marion. Now, those stripers may 320,000 have a competitor roll into town. Bicycles. Yes, bicycles. Made in year First, a little history. … Given the glob- al economy, by 1997, all major U.S. bicy- 1,200 cling companies had moved bike produc- tion overseas to lower-cost providers in Made in a day China and Asia and were solely buying and importing models for sales here in 50 minutes the 50 states. That business model still exists today Current assembly time — with one exception. In 2014, Kent International Chairman for one bicycle and CEO Arnold Kamler de- cided to move 10 percent of his company’s business back to the U.S. and set up opera- tions in an abandoned ware- house in, of all places, Man- ning — which has long been KAMLER considered a small industrial town. Kamler created Bicycle Corporation of America as a division of Kent. His reasoning: The growing cost of labor in China and a long-term outlook on production costs in the industry. Also, Walmart had established a Made in U.S.A. initiative that encouraged U.S. manufac- turing and sales to its stores. “It’s a long-term play,” Kamler said. “Even without talk on tariffs, the cost of doing business in China and Asia is going up at a really high rate. It’s growing at a much higher rate than it’s growing in the United States.” BCA in Manning isn’t a back-to-the-ba- sics, full manual labor assembly line oper- ation.

At another station, a program- mable machine also tightens the spokes on the wheel so it’s ready to ride. BCA has also invested in the most highly automated painting system for bikes in the world at the Manning fa- cility, according to Kamler. The sys- tem can produce an unlimited number of color options. To save employees’ backs, an ad- vanced magnetic lift has also been in- troduced on the line to hoist up the finished bike (which is generally about 33 pounds) before an assembly worker helps position it into a ship- ping box. After 4½ years in operation, BCA now produces about 320,000 bicycles per year for sale in the U.S., mostly via Walmart’s 4,000 stores across the country.

Montana governor signs bill honoring deputy into law

Montana Gov. Steve Bullock memorialized slain Broad- water County Deputy Mason Moore on Monday when he signed into law a bill that would place a sign at the loca- tion where Moore was fatally shot in May 2017. Moore’s wife and daughter, Jodi and Branna Kaycee Carey Moore, were on hand when Bullock signed the bill. Rep. Julie Dooling, right, was the legislator who carried the bill. “It feels good to have the bill pass,” Dooling said Monday afternoon. “I am so glad to have this done for Jodi and the kids. It’s a stepping stone in the healing process for them. To have the bill signed into law is really bitter- sweet.” Broadwater County Sheriff Wynn Meehan, sec- ond from right, and several of Moore’s fellow deputies with the BCSO watch as Bullock signs the bill into law. Moore was a native of Manning.
