Industry Nine has officially acquired We Are One Composites, a Canadian manufacturer specializing in composite rims. This move allows Industry Nine to bring carbon rim production in-house, improving lead times and supply chain management. We Are One will benefit from increased resources while maintaining their Canadian manufacturing operations. The acquisition is expected to cater to riders seeking high-performance wheels made in North America. Despite this partnership, We Are One has confirmed that there are no plans to resume production of their Arrival frames, which ceased in 2024.
For Industry Nine, it's a play to bring carbon rim production in-house, cutting down lead times, increasing control over the supply chain, and likely opening the door for even more integrated designs.
This acquisition solidifies what felt like a natural pairing. Importantly, I9 mentions that operations will remain in both Asheville and Kamloops without any impact on existing product availability.
