FlatOut Industries
FlatOut Industries was founded in 2004 by Sean Mance, who started the business after noticing a legitimate lack of options for the custom automotive and motorcycle market in Canada. Since the business specialized in one of a kind, custom designed CNC machined parts that were available nowhere else on the planet…the customer list grew quickly and so did their reputation. FlatOut Industries has always grown their branding through their innovative concepts and products. From the Adidas World Cup motorcycle, to the custom ATVs for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, to the custom private builds…the passion and ideas from FlatOut Industries show no sign of slowing down.
