US Highland was established as a motorcycle manufacturer based in Oklahoma, United States. It was formed by Mats Malmberg, formerly of Swedish Highland Motorcycles AB, when negotiations to sell Highland to ATK fell through. US Highland's 33000square feet factory opened in Tulsa on June 1, 2010 and was expected to produce hundreds of off-road motorcycles a year.

Highland was to offer motorcycles built to the customer's specifications utilizing modular construction based on two engines, a single cylinder and a 60-degree V-twin, and a few frames. The company stated it planned to build out a dealer network in the United States in 2011–2012.

Highland also announced that they would also produce an electric motorcycle utilizing a wheel hub motor.

On July 10, 2010, Malmberg and two other executives of US Highland were killed when their small plane, returning from a business trip in Michigan, crashed in Tulsa's Mohawk Park after they radioed that they were low on fuel and requested an unscheduled landing at nearby Tulsa International Airport.[1]

July 2017- UHLN (OTCBB) (US Highlands Inc) has switched company path into a holdings company purchasing established restaurant chains and franchises under the ticker symbol CZNI - Cruzani, Inc.
