The acquisition is in good hands with Dutech, an investment company from Singapore.

The acquisition by Dutech offers a new opportunity for these iconic bicycle brands, which have long been a well-established name in the Dutch market. Dutech’s targeted investments and strategic vision for the bicycle industry can contribute to a sustainable future for Batavus, KOGA and Babboe.

With this step, Dutech can not only breathe new life into the brands but also safeguard employment and production capacity in the Netherlands. The focus on innovation and customer orientation will be crucial to put these brands back on the map in a competitive market.
