Serpent is still fully operational!
Just want to share this news and probably you all have known it already. It had been going round all over the forums and at most racers meeting. So it is about time for the big boys of Serpent to come up with their own words on all these stories.
Serpent has been going through some changes lately and many rumours have been singing around, so time to give some facts.
The facts
Serpent Headquarters remains based in Heemstede, Holland, at a smaller location than before.. At Serpent head-quarters general project-management, r&d, marketing and sales are being done. Michael Salven works on all designs of current and new projects. Billy Easton works on r&d too, but then based in the USA.
Serpent has moved all the production to Asia. In the last 5-10 years already most parts were made in Asia and we focused production in Holland on injection moulding of all nylon parts, logistics and packing of car-kits and spare parts. To make things more efficient and flexible we decided to move all production to one expert production location in Asia. This facility is fully operational and kits and parts are made available from there.
Before the main warehouse was in Holland. In the new structure it is managed in 3 locations Serpent Asia, Serpent America and Serpent Europe ( in the making). Of course the network of Serpent Distributors (over 45 worldwide) will continue to operate as before.
Serpent is working on some exciting new projects, which will be revealed in the time to come, we will keep you posted, as usual. Some more info on the development of the Serpent company will follow too.

Our Rambling:
We can be the witness that Serpent is still going strong here in our place in Malaysia. Our LHS, HMS Racing is still sending parts and kits to other shops and sales still going strong. All demands met and friends with Serpent kits are all happy. No sign of letting off. No sign of stopping. The Serpent is still the brand to reckon with and also their drivers. In fact, we heard, Serpent is coming up with new upgrade or kit for the 2009. True or not, we can’t wait that is for sure
