MONTEGO BAY, St James — A local motorcycle maker has opened new headquarters in Montego Bay as it pushes ahead with plans to become a major player in Latin America and the Caribbean.

According to Conroy Ghans, his company, Ghans Auto Parts, is steadily building a name for its Missile brand of motorcycles, and recently introduced its Trey and Dillon brands across the region.

“We… have expanded the brand to Central America and in the Caribbean. If you go to Cuba you will see a number of Missiles moving people around,” he said during last week’s opening of the company’s Montego Bay store.
