Belgian Cycling and Belgian Cycling Factory extend partnership for another five years

Belgian Cycling Factory (BCF) and Belgian Cycling have renewed their partnership for another five years with the cycling brand Ridley. This marks the fourth consecutive extension of the collaboration, clearly underlining the long-term sustainability and mutual trust between both partners.

In a high-performance sports environment that continues to evolve rapidly, both parties deliberately remain committed to a long-term partnership. This renewal once again confirms the strong connection between Belgian cycling and the country’s largest bicycle company, built on shared values and mutual confidence. For many years, Belgian Cycling has relied on the proven reliability and performance of Ridley bicycles.

Jochim Aerts, CEO of Belgian Cycling Factory, commented:

"Extending this partnership for the fourth time, each time for a period of five years, makes us particularly proud. It is a strong signal of mutual trust and of a partnership that continues to grow alongside the realities of modern elite sport. We firmly believe in sustainable collaborations and in continuing to support Belgian cycling — today and in the future."

Belgian Cycling Factory is today the largest bicycle company in Belgium, combining the country’s rich cycling heritage with continuous innovation and performance-driven design. From its headquarters in Beringen, all core activities are centralized, including research and development, paint finishing, assembly and international distribution. In addition to Ridley, the group also includes brands such as Eddy Merckx Bikes. The partnership with Belgian Cycling aligns perfectly with this long-term vision and philosophy.

Tom Van Damme, President of Belgian Cycling, added:

"We are proud to have been able to rely on a trusted partner such as Belgian Cycling Factory for so many years. The strong Belgian identity of the premium brand Ridley is a significant asset. This extension confirms our mutual confidence and our shared ambition to continue working together in a sustainable, long-term partnership."
