Sachsenring Bike "We start full pot"
Sangerhausen - In the bicycle factory on the Kyselhäuser road in Sangerhausen again run bicycles from tape. After the short-time work in recent months, the Sachsenring Bike Manufacturer wants to produce again this week. "We start the full pot. As of Thursday, all employees are on board again, "said owner Stefan Zubcic MZ. Work is already underway on impeller production. "The paint shop is also under steam," said Zubcic. "Such a production startup is always a multi-stage process."
Sachsenring has taken over some customers of Mifa According to him, Sachsenring is initially working on orders for large German discount chains, which the company has won in recent weeks as a customer. Most of them are those for whom the former Mifa was also special page Mifa Sangerhausen active, said Zubcic. The owner does not want to name. The Mifa had bicycles for Aldi, Real or Norma manufactured among others. In addition, the business with e-bikes is to be expanded. Zubcic: "This is the segment that is booming the most." Here, too, Sachsenring has won contracts. In addition, a new collection for their own brands such as Grace, Steppenwolf and Vaughn developed, which are sold through the retailers. Sachsenring plans production of 200,000 bicycles According to the company, it is planned that up to 200,000 bicycles per year will leave the factory buildings on the old Mifa grounds in the center of Sangerhuis, where the company returned last year. All in all, as we already see, additional production personnel are needed in the future, said Zubcic. "Things are going well, we are above our plans," he said. He did not name specific numbers. According to him, 135 employees are currently employed in the bicycle factory. "So there have already been new hires," said the native of Coburg (Bavaria) entrepreneur. In July of last year, he took over the
business operations of the insolvent Mifa and the remaining approximately 130 employees. Sachsenring relies on e-bikes
Since 1 August the company operates as Sachsenring Bike Manufaktur. Zubcic said he is mainly using fixed settings. There will be significantly less temporary workers than the Mifa. "We want to deliver quality." And the production of e-bikes is now clearly more complex than the assembly of a simple bike. Currently, the construction of a customer service network is planned. For this purpose, the company intends to hire fitters for bicycles and e-bikes in a total of eight German regions (including Stuttgart, Hamburg, Bonn). In the future, they should wait and repair the wheels directly with the customers. Employees wanted at Sachsenring In addition, Sachsenring is looking for a head and a sales assistant for the factory sales on the Yuri Gagarin road. The business was closed for Christmas but should be preserved at its previous location. In addition, a new online shop is planned. "Soon we will have a large number of cheap bicycles, pedelecs, and e-bikes available for you", it says on the company's website.
