Cannondale Almelo factory closure affects 120 employees
De fietsfabriek van Cannondale in Almelo gaat eind volgend jaar dicht. Dat heeft eigenaar Pon.Bike vandaag bekendgemaakt. De voorgenomen sluiting raakt 120 medewerkers. De medewerkers in Almelo zijn vandaag geïnformeerd over de plannen, meldt RTV Oost . Cannondale is van oorsprong een Amerikaans merk. Maar zoals van vrijwel alle fietsen wereldwijd komen de frames uit Taiwan. De fietsen die Cannondale in Europa verkoopt, worden vervolgens afgemonteerd in de fabriek in Almelo.
Cannondale's bicycle factory in Almelo is slated to close its doors by the end of next year, according to an announcement by owner Pon.Bike. This decision will impact approximately 120 employees who were informed of the plans today.
The Almelo facility currently assembles Cannondale-branded bicycles for the European market, using frames primarily sourced from Taiwan. Pon.Bike, which owns numerous bicycle brands including Gazelle and Cervélo, is consolidating production across its existing European factories in Dieren, Emstek (Germany), and Kedainiai (Lithuania) as part of a new company strategy.
The closure highlights a trend of production consolidation within the bicycle industry, impacting local employment and potentially altering supply chain dynamics for specific brands.
