TOMOS has had a long storied history for over 50 years in the twowheeled industry. It took collaboration of like and proud minds, as well as determination and vision to work together to start this enterprise. These gentlemen never imagined that TOMOS would become larger than themselves. Here’s our story. After World War II, opportunities to develop a new industry were sought at Karst. Despite obstacles, doubts, and contrary opinions justification of producing twowheelers was realized in July 1954. The founders established the factory of motorcycles and the project was signed in Sežana. The very next month, the name TOMOS TOvarna MOtornih koles Sežana appeared in the company documents for the first time. In October 1954, the Slovene government finalized a territory and started to build a factory in Koper, the seaside industrial center of Slovenia, where it remains today. The first product made in TOMOS was a motorcycle called TOMOS Puch SG 250. In 1955 they made 137 of these motorcycles and assembled 124 RL 125 scooters and one hundred mopeds. The next year, mopeds accounted for the majority 1712 of the total number of assembled units, followed by motorcycles 615 and scooters. Simultaneously with the licensed production, TOMOS focused all of its strengths in its own development of serial models.
