Technibike Shifts Production Hub from Germany to Eastern Europe
2023-09-25 source ownBike manufacturer Technibike GmbH is set to shift its production unit from Stassfurt, Germany, to Eastern Europe, signaling a trend of bicycle companies migrating production closer to consumer markets.
Recent trends reveal a preference for production facilities in proximity to consumer bases, driven by the desire to reduce transportation and communication costs and to respond quickly to market demands. Eastern Europe has emerged as a hotspot for bicycle production, with companies investing heavily in countries like Lithuania, Poland, Romania, and Bulgaria, aiming for the “European-made” label and reaping the benefits of stable supply chains.
However, Technibike GmbH’s relocation highlights the challenges in the European production landscape. The company cites deteriorating production conditions post the COVID-19 pandemic, increased energy and labor costs, and regulatory hassles in Germany as the driving factors for the move.
Technibike’s departure emphasizes the struggles of medium-sized enterprises in Germany, where larger corporations are reportedly receiving more support. While the German facilities are scheduled for closure in early August, the company will continue to provide logistics and services, partnering with reputed producers in Eastern Europe to maintain high standards in product quality and delivery reliability.
