"The Plattsburgh facility had a strong industrial foundation, previously used for transit bus manufacturing. Rather than starting from scratch, Micro Bird built upon that legacy - leveraging local expertise and combining it with our own manufacturing culture. Our teams worked hand in hand with experienced employees from the region to redesign the space for cutaway commercial bus production. The result: an ultra-efficient plant delivering Micro Bird's hallmark quality in record time."
"Plattsburgh, NY, is a natural choice for Micro Bird. Located near the U.S.-Canadian border, it allows us to serve the American market faster and more efficiently, strengthen our local supply chain, and tap into a highly skilled workforce with deep experience in vehicle assembly. With this new U.S. footprint, Micro Bird is reinforcing its commitment to providing American-made commercial buses that meet the highest standards of safety, comfort, and durability."
Micro Bird acquired a production facility in Plattsburgh, NY, in November 2024 to expand commercial bus manufacturing in the United States. Seven months later, the first U.S.-built Micro Bird bus rolled off the reconfigured line. The Plattsburgh plant was repurposed from a transit bus manufacturing site, combining local expertise with Micro Bird’s manufacturing culture to create an ultra-efficient facility. The location near the U.S.-Canadian border improves delivery speed, strengthens the local supply chain, and provides access to a skilled vehicle assembly workforce. The plant will produce cutaway commercial buses for assisted living transport, airport shuttles, paratransit/ADA vehicles, and community and religious organizations.
