Portuguese aluminium alloy frame maker readies to start production next year

Triangle’s, the new aluminium bicycle and e-bikes frames manufacturer in Portugal, is all set to start its production in October, next year. Before production begins, the bike maker wants to fine-tune its two fully automated, robotized production lines. In March 2017, it will install machinery for hydroforming alloy tubes followed by a paint shop installation in June/July.

Currently, Triangle’s brand new facility in Portugal is under construction. The main production hall, however, is complete and the first machinery is being installed.

Triangle's plans to manufacture a batch of around 300 aluminium alloy frames this month. Once frabricated, the frames will be sent for rigorous testing at four different testing institutes.

For 2017, Triangle‘s has a production plan of 150,000 aluminium alloy bicycle and aluminium e-bike frames. According to President Armando Levi this production planning gives the company possibilities to prepare samples for customers that will be ready by January 2018.
