US Highland was established as a motorcycle manufacturer based in Oklahoma, United States. It was formed by Mats Malmberg, formerly of Swedish Highland Motorcycles AB, when negotiations to sell Highland to ATK fell through.[2] US Highland's 33,000-square-foot (3,100 m2) factory opened in Tulsa on June 1, 2010, and was expected to produce hundreds of off-road motorcycles a year.[3]
Highland was to offer motorcycles built to the customer's specifications utilizing modular construction based on two engines, a single cylinder and a 60-degree V-twin, and a few frames.[4] The company stated it planned to build out a dealer network in the United States in 2011–2012.[2]
Highland also announced that they would also produce an electric motorcycle utilizing a wheel hub motor.[3][5]
On July 10, 2010, Malmberg and two other executives of US Highland were killed when their small plane, returning from a business trip in Michigan, crashed in Tulsa's Mohawk Park after they radioed that they were low on fuel and requested an unscheduled landing at nearby Tulsa International Airport.[6]
July 2017 - UHLN (OTCBB) (US Highlands Inc) has switched company path into a holdings company purchasing established restaurant chains and franchises under the ticker symbol CZNI - Cruzani, Inc.
