The Swiss bicycle manufacturer Tour de Suissse is about to move into its brand new headquarters. The move is due to take place from November 19 to 23, bringing to an end almost fifty years of history in the old factory building. Already inaugurated at the new location are the painting and powder coating facilities - which are a first for the manufacturer. Previously, Tour de Suisse had the frames painted or powder-coated externally. For customers, this could mean welcome shorter delivery times, as individual color requests can now be fulfilled in-house.

Wet paint and powder spraying booths are by no means the end of the story at the new company site. The modern building is also home to assembly, the warehouse, administration, a showroom and a Velocafé. As the building is located directly on the Bodenseeveloweg, it could be interesting for many bicycle travelers to stop in for a refreshment at a bicycle manufacturer that is steeped in history and at the same time ultra-modern. The showroom and café are scheduled to open around the end of 2018 and beginning of 2019 respectively.

January 26 is also already on the agenda: Tour de Suisse will be holding its factory sale day at the old location. The rarities and trouvailles that have accumulated over the 48 years at the previous location could be worth a visit for collectors and bargain hunters. Modern goods will also be sold at the factory outlet.

At Tour de Suisse, it's not just the company headquarters that are brand new. The corporate identity has also been given a fresh look. The new logo, which combines the Swiss cross and bicycle wheel symbols, stands out in particular.tds-rad.ch
