The frame, the soul of the bicycle<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We come from the world of cycling \u2014 it is our natural market, our first target \u2014 even though our expertise extends well beyond this field. Nevertheless, our origins continue to shape us. We have acquired solid experience in the manufacturing processes involved in building a bicycle, but the core of our craft remains frame production \u2014 in other words, welding.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

However, localising welding alone does not make sense if all other aspects of producing a finished product are not also handled locally. This is why, around our welding production unit, we have built a network of skilled trades capable of responding to every requirement \u2014 machining, forming, finishing, and more.<\/h2>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

But why relocate production?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the mid-twentieth century, the bicycle industry was strong in France, Spain, and Italy. Although cycling practices have evolved, interest in bicycles has never declined. The sector has remained resilient despite successive economic crises and the rise of motorised personal transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, frame and component production in Europe gradually diminished, shifting toward Asia, particularly Taiwan. The reason? Unbeatable production costs and the high level of expertise of companies established in the region, especially in frame manufacturing. Over time, however, both demand and production costs have increased significantly, limiting the ability of these companies to meet the needs of, among others, medium-sized clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where we are now witnessing the return of part of the production to Europe, and where Milc Industry comes into play, for four pragmatic reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
