One of the industry leaders is Polaris GEM. The firm has been manufacturing Indian and Victory brand Motorcycles in Spirit Lake, in the Lakes Corridor region of Iowa, since 1994. (For more information, see here: http://ow.ly/fFIG303FaM6.)

The company uses buildings that allow for control of the temperature and humidity. (More info here: http://ow.ly/b0Nw303Fbl8.)
