More than 140 members of staff are employed at Ralf Bohle GmbH in Reichshof, and 60 additional employees are working at five subsidiaries in Europe and North America. The third-generation family-run company is at the forefront of innovation, introducing technologies such as the first “flat-less” bicycle tire, Schwalbe Marathon Plus. Since 1973, the Korean family-run company Hung-A has been the production partner of Ralf Bohle GmbH. The two Schwalbe factories operate as a joint venture in Indonesia and Vietnam. Both companies are not only business partners – they also look back on more than 45 years of close friendship. This is unique in the industry. In cooperation with the scientific research and consultancy institute EPEA in Hamburg, which is known for its Cradle to Cradle design concept, Ralf Bohle GmbH has been able to implement several “Green Milestones” over the past few years. This includes the introduction of a recycling system for bicycle tubes, a type of tread rubber solely made of renewable and recycled raw materials as well as a puncture protection belt of which a third is made of recycled natural rubber. The next step is to harmonise supply chains with the criteria of the Fair Rubber Association.
