Bicycle assembly and painting workshops are part of the new building, along with a warehouse and administrative offices. It is noteworthy that the facility uses underfloor heating in a floor area of 20,000 m2, providing comfortable working conditions for employees. 2,500 solar panels are installed on the factory’s roof to supply electricity to the factory. A large car park (parking lot) has been built, including electric vehicle charging stations. The old trees surrounding the factory were preserved, and new greenery has been planted as well.

Led by Algimantas Gedvilas, Pon.Bike Lithuania already has 68 employees and plans to create about 600 jobs as production accelerates. This will be the eighth Pon.Bike factory in the world, which, when operating at full capacity, will be able to assemble up to 450,000 bicycles per year. The factory will produce bicycles for the Gazelle, Kalkhoff, and Focus brands. The factory will also produce electric bicycles.
