This online Directory contains up-to-date information on all bicycle component makers in the European Union. This handy Directory is created as the cycle component production is increasingly shifting to the Far East. This makes it more and more difficult for buyers and product managers to comply with the ’40 – 60’ rule. European regulations stipulate that bicycles made in Europe must comprise of non-Chinese made components to the value of at least 40% of the ex-works price of the bicycle. Next to that, European made bikes, in particular City and Trekking models, require in many cases European made components. Moreover, in view of close to market production and long lead times connected to sourcing in the Far East, this Directory offers all European alternative suppliers in just a mouse-click.
European bicycle component manufacturers are free of charge listed in Bike Europe’s online Directory. European parts makers that are not listed in this Directory can register via this application form. The free of charge listing contains the basic address data of your company.
