RYDE International is a Dutch wheel manufacturer .

history

The Van Schothorst company started out as a forge and wheel manufacturer in Barneveld near Boxmeer , where the successor Ryde is still based today. In the 1950s, the company increasingly specialized in the manufacture of wheel rims. When aluminum rims came up, the Van Schothorst company's owners at the time decided to buy up a number of companies around the world, including the French company Rigida . In addition to taking over several companies, e.g. B. Weinmann Metal Products wanted the company to set up production facilities worldwide, including in Great Britain, Italy, Belgium, Malaysia, Mexico and the USA. At the time of its greatest success, the company produced 20 million rims annually. The company was run under the name Rigida Group. Due to changes in the market and a series of wrong decisions, various Rigida Group companies got into difficulties. Alesa, the Belgian rim manufacturer of the Van Schothorst Group, went bankrupt in 2002.

A number of foreign businesses were sold or closed, and some of the group's operations went bankrupt around 2002. In 2010 the name Rigida was changed to RYDE in order to “create a contemporary, young and dynamic look” .

structure

The parent holding company RYDE International brings together RYDE BV (Netherlands), Rigida (Malaysia), RYDE Hungary (Hungary) and Bike Parts Hong Kong (Hong Kong). Bike Parts has taken over two production sites from Weinmann Metal Products in China. The Hungarian branch is a special case as it is based in the Hungarian production branch of the Accell Group .
