Edco Swiss
In 1988 Edco Engineering SA succeeded the mechanical engineering company Dubied & Cie from Couvet in Switzerland . Dubied & Cie was founded in 1867. In 1902 the company manufactured the first automobile and bicycle parts and sold them under the name "EDCO".
As a new manufacturer, Edco started in the late 1980s to around the mid-1990s with its own component groups for mountain bikes , touring , triathlon and racing bikes . Most parts were compatible with Shimano components.
Edco had economic problems and eventually had to file for bankruptcy around the turn of the millennium . The trademark rights were taken over from the Belgian spoke manufacturer Sapim . However, Sapim wanted to concentrate on its main business, the manufacture of spokes and nipples , and in 2007 sold the brand to a Dutch company that founded edco engineering bv .
