Brasil & Movimento S.A. or B&M was a Brazilian company that manufactured motorcycles and bicycles beginning in 2000.[1] It sold its products under the Sundown Motors trademark. Wholly Brazilian owned, it employed over 1,000 people and had 54,000 square metres of area over two separate factories. B&M was an ISO 9001/2000 quality standard certification holder.
The company grew and in 2002 started producing cheaper, small-engined motorcycles. In less than three years in this market, it became the third-highest selling brand in Brazil, with 10 models ranging from 90 cc to 250 cc engines.
In China, Brasil & Movimento had a development office where it worked in partnership with two major partners, Qingq and Zongshen.[2]
In mid-2011, due to financial problems among investors, and the Brazilian economic crisis, the factory went bankrupt.[3]
