All bikes from Thömus Veloshop AG and all Stromer e-bikes from MyStromerAG are to be produced in Oberwangen in future. Together with the company Holzbau Mosimann, Thömus is building a hall with 5000 square meters of space five kilometers away from the existing site in Oberried. The new production building should be ready for occupation as early as February 2012. Managing Director Thomas Binggeli comments on his commitment to Switzerland as a location: "Thömus produces high-quality bikes, and with our own production on site we can always control and therefore guarantee this quality."

Despite the new bike factory in Oberwangen, the existing site in Oberried remains the heart of the company for Thömus Veloshop AG, which deliberately does not use intermediaries. Customers will also be able to select and test bikes there in the future. Thömus is also planning to build a bike park at the Oberried site. The facility will include slopes and learning trails several kilometers long with different characteristics.

Thömus founder Thomas Binggeli sees the bike park project as a major step forward: "We're not just selling bikes, but an entire lifestyle. In the bike park, with the practical application, you will get an even better sense of the bike philosophy we offer in Oberried."www.thoemus.ch
