Since 2010, the newly founded Horex GmbH in Augsburg owned the trademark rights and built motorcycles under the old name.

In 1920 Friedrich Kleemann (1868–1949), financial manager at the Rex Konservenglas Gesellschaft (preservative jar manufacturing company) in Bad Homburg (Germany) bought Columbus Motorenbau AG, a small motor factory in Oberursel by Taunus, which was in the neighbourhood.

[1] World War II interrupted motorcycle production, but Horex resumed in 1948 with a 350 cc single-cylinder model, the SB 35 Regina.

[2] In 1989 CK Design in Japan developed the Horex 644 OSCA with Fritz Roeth in Hammelbach.

[3] Besides the new VR6 supercharged engine, an aluminum bridge frame with a steel steering head forms the chassis.

A single swing arm controls the rear wheel, while the engine power is transferred by a belt drive system.

Under the direction of the insolvency administrator, Rainer U. Müller from the law firm Anchor Rechtsanwälte, the 3C-Carbon Group AG came out on top in the quest to purchase Horex on 6 February 2015.
