German Shimano Distributor Goes To Eurobike

COLOGNE, Germany -(March, 27) - Shimano recently decided to exhibit this year only at the IFMA show in Germany which will be held in Cologne from September 13 to 16. However, this remarkable decision doesn't mean that Shimano isn't introducing its newest products also in Friedrichshafen at the Eurobike Show. German Shimano distributor Paul Lange & Co. will have a booth on Eurobike 2001 which takes place from August 30 to September 2. Next to the newest products of the other brands that are imported by Paul Lange & Co., the German trading company will also present the newest Shimano components here. According to Paul Lange & Co general manager Bernhard Lange, Shimano Europe is responsible for the booth in Cologne, "here we will serve our international customers." Lange decided to exhibit at the Eurobike Show in Friedrichshafen because, "there we can serve especially our Southern-German and Austrian customers". Since the latest creation of Thalinger-Lange Austria GmbH the German distributor is also responsible for the Austrian market. Lange has a majority holding in Thalinger-Lange Austria GmbH (see BE March 2001). (JB)
