Tomos (Slovene: Tovarna, Motornih koles, Sežana, "Motorcycle Factory Sežana") was a Slovene moped manufacturer based in Koper. It was founded in 1948. Tomos acquired a production license from Puch to produce moped models under the Tomos name in 1954. Tomos had since produced various goods for the Eastern European market, including motorcycles, mopeds, outboard motors and Citroën cars for the home market.
Tomos mopeds were also produced in Epe, Netherlands since 1966. A very good-selling model was the Tomos "4L", produced from 1969 until 1980. The Dutch development team was responsible for the introduction of models like the Colibri, Targa and Revival. Tomos was the last remaining moped factory in the Netherlands, surviving at least 36 others since 1966. Tomos mopeds were sold in the U.S. from 1976 to 2014.[1][2] In 2017 Tomos had also expanded to the United Kingdom.[3]
Tomos went bankrupt on January 3, 2019. After 1991 on all products there was 'Made in Slovenia' label.[4]
