Adventure Works Cycles Company Story
Business
Adventure Works Cycles, the fictitious company on which the AdventureWorks sample
databases are based, is a large, multinational manufacturing company. The company
manufactures and sells metal and composite bicycles to North American, European, and Asian
commercial markets. While its base operation is located in Bothell, Washington, with 290
employees, several regional sales teams are located throughout its market base.
In 2000, Adventure Works Cycles bought a small manufacturing plant, Importadores Neptuno
located in Mexico. Importadores Neptuno manufactures several critical subcomponents for the
Adventure Works Cycles product line. These subcomponents are shipped to the Bothell locati
for final product assembly. In 2001, Importadores Neptuno, became the sole manufacturer and
distributor of the touring bicycle product group.
Coming off a successful fiscal year, Adventure Works Cycles is looking to broaden its market
share by targeting its sales to its best customers, extending its product availability through an
external website, and reducing cost of sales through lower production costs.
