The Norton Motorcycle Company is a brand of motorcycles headquartered in Solihull, West Midlands, England, originally based in Birmingham, and now owned by TVS Motor Company. The business was founded in 1898 making fittings and parts for the two-wheel trade, began making motorcycles with bought-in engines by 1902, and added a Norton-built engine in 1908. During the Second World War it produced almost 100,000 military sidevalve motorcycles. Associated Motor Cycles bought it in 1953, and it later became part of Norton Villiers Triumph. It is recorded here as the maker of the Norton Commando.
