Trek is one of the few companies in Germany currently making positive headlines. In an interview with the East German daily newspaper "Freie Presse", factory managing director Michael Mittag expressed his satisfaction with the current course of business and announced some interesting figures. The bicycle factory has been able to increase its output from 40,000 to the current 131,000 bicycles in just five years. Last year alone, Trek invested around 400,000 euros in the expansion of the production facility.

More employees for custom-made
However, Trek has not yet reached its peak; the company expects to produce 155,000 bikes and make further investments this year. Trek wants to hire more workers in addition to the current two hundred employees. Another plan for the current year mentioned in the newspaper report is the introduction of custom-made production, which will initially be limited to certain Trek racing bike models.

Successful start with electric bikes
According to the newspaper report, Trek has made a very successful start in the electric bike sector. Customers have already been found for all 5000 e-bikes that will be produced by next May. Trek presented its own range of electric bikes under the Villiger (for Switzerland), Diamant (for Germany) and Trek (for Holland) brands for the first time at the last Eurobike and began producing the first e-bikes six weeks ago.
