Van Raam took over a factory in Wykroty (Poland) in order to meet the high demand for special needs bikes.
The factory in Wykroty (Poland) (760 km from Varsseveld), just across the German border at Görlitz/Dresden is 6,500 m2 and stands on a plot of about 5 hectares. This factory was until recently owned by Royal Lovink Industries of Terborg.
On Monday December 14th (2020), was the signing moment and both the managements of Van Raam and Lovink signed. The official name will be Van Raam International Sp. Z o.o. Van Raam International also has its own logo.

Dirk Jan van den Hout (director of Lovink) is pleased that the building in Wykroty is being taken over by another company in the Achterhoek (the region where Van Raam is located) just as Lovink is, and he has put together a nice package for the directors of Van Raam. In addition to the building, Van Raam will also take over a part of the staff.
The management of Van Raam (Marjolein Boezel, Jan-Willem Boezel and Ronald Ruesink) is also very happy with this big step. The 13.500 m2 building in Varsseveld where Van Raam has been located since 2019, has already become too small due to the great demand for special needs bicycles. So, Van Raam was looking for expansion opportunities.
We are very happy with this big step and think we can handle the extreme demand for Van Raam bicycles worldwide.
Work that can be carried out in the course of 2021 both in Varsseveld (the Netherlands) and in Wykroty (Poland):
Blasting and powder coating of frames
Bicycles assembling line (a.o. Fun2Go duo bike and Easy Rider tricycle)
The Van Raam culture, working methods and employment will remain in Varsseveld. The growth is also facilitated from Poland.
Nothing changes for dealers and customers.
Dutch high quality remains; employees are all trained in the Netherlands so that there will be no quality difference between the bicycles assembled in Varsseveld or Wykroty.
Employment in Varsseveld remains; due to the strongly increased demand more capacity is needed.
The Van Raam bicycle remains a Dutch product; design, development, management and quality control is done from the Netherlands.
Van Raam is building a new hall next to its current premises in Varsseveld. The hall will be approximately 4500 m2 in size. Read more about the new building in the article 'Van Raam further expands in Varsseveld'. On this page you can see pictures of the realization of the new hall.
Van Raam special needs bikes builds an extension to the production space. There will be an extra area of 1800M2 end of this year. (2012)
Van Raam makes special needs bikes for people who can no longer cycle on a regular bicycle. Van Raam has grown enormously in recent years. In 2014 Van Raam had 90 employees, which has now doubled. In 2019 Van Raam moved to new premises, twice the size of the old building. In the 'Achterhoek Vacature' newspaper, technical director Jan-Willem Boezel tells more about Van Raam, its employees and innovation.
Due to growth in recent years, Van Raam has outgrown its current location at Aaltenseweg 56 in Varsseveld.Â
