Kalkhoff

[1] Founded as a first small workshop in Kalkhoff's parents' house, the company grew steadily.

The war forced the company to convert to the production of military equipment.

After the end of the second World War, Kalkhoff initially manufactured everyday goods such as trailers and boilers.

During the 1950s' bicycle boom, Kalkhoff expanded to 1200 employees and daily production reached 5000 frames.

Production of Kalkhoff bicycles continues at the Derby Cycle factory in Cloppenburg, Germany.
