As global bicycle supply chains continue to shift, India is emerging as an important manufacturing base for international bicycle OEM projects. One of the most promising new players in this transition is a new bicycle manufacturing company in Mumbai, India, established under the Aditya Birla Group.
Created to capture the growing opportunity from global supply chain diversification and the transfer of bicycle OEM orders from China to India, this new company set out with an ambitious goal: to enter the international bicycle frame and assembly market quickly and credibly.
Davmore was proud to support this journey from the very beginning.
Supporting a New Bicycle Manufacturing Project in India from Day One
Unlike traditional manufacturers that expand from an existing production base, this customer started at a very early stage — before their bicycle welding factory was fully completed.
At that critical moment, they needed more than component sourcing. They needed a development and manufacturing partner who could help transform ideas into real products in a very short time.
Our Taiwan-based team worked closely with them from the start, helping develop:
- New bicycle frame drawings
- Drawings for related machined and welded components
- Part development strategies for rapid prototyping
- Production planning using available supply chain resources
This early-stage support allowed the customer to move forward with product development even before their own factory was fully operational.
Accelerating Development with Existing Tooling and Supply Chain Resources
Speed was essential. To help the customer shorten development time, Davmore selected suitable standard tooling and common mold options already available within our supply chain wherever possible.
This approach offered several key advantages:
- Reduced development lead time
- Lower tooling investment
- Faster part validation
- Greater flexibility during the early product development stage
Instead of starting every component from scratch, we helped the customer use proven supply chain resources to accelerate the program and avoid unnecessary delays.
For new parts that required custom processing, we also supported drawing development and design coordination to ensure the parts could move quickly into manufacturing.
From Zero to Sample Production in Just 2 Months
One of the most impressive achievements of this project was the speed of execution.
Within just two months, Davmore helped bring the customer’s new product samples to life — covering the full process from component machining to bicycle frame welding.
This was especially significant because the customer’s own welding factory was still under construction and not yet fully ready for complete in-house production. By leveraging our experience and manufacturing coordination capabilities, we were able to bridge that gap and keep the project moving forward without waiting for the customer’s facility to be fully completed.
Our support during this phase included:
- Precision machined components
- Forged parts
- CNC processing
- Bicycle frame welding coordination
- Painting and finishing support
By combining these capabilities into one integrated development process, we helped the customer rapidly create market-ready samples under intense time pressure.
Applying Forging, CNC, Welding, and Painting in One Integrated Solution
This project also highlighted Davmore’s ability to integrate multiple manufacturing processes into one complete development solution.
For this customer, we combined:
- Forging for durable structural parts
- CNC machining for precision and consistency
- Welding for frame fabrication and assembly
- Painting for final appearance and presentation quality
This combination of processes was critical in producing high-quality samples that were not only functional, but also exhibition-ready.
Rather than managing separate vendors for each process, the customer benefited from a more coordinated development approach that saved time and reduced communication complexity.
Helping the Customer Shine at a Major European Bicycle Exhibition in 2025
Thanks to the successful sample development process, the customer was able to present their new products at a major European bicycle exhibition in 2025, where they attracted attention as a new bicycle manufacturing force from India.
For a newly established company, this exhibition was more than just a product showcase. It was an opportunity to prove that they were capable of serving international bicycle brands looking for reliable OEM manufacturing outside China.
With the support of Davmore, they were able to present themselves with confidence — backed by real products, real engineering capability, and real manufacturing progress.
Building Early Momentum in the Bicycle Frame Welding OEM Market
Entering the bicycle frame welding OEM market is not easy, especially for a new company building its production system from the ground up. It requires speed, technical capability, and the ability to convert concepts into production-ready samples within a limited timeline.
This project helped the customer establish early credibility in the market. By launching quickly and demonstrating strong product execution, they were able to make a powerful first impression in front of global bicycle industry buyers.
For Davmore, this case also demonstrated the strength of our support model for emerging bicycle manufacturers. We do not simply provide parts. We help customers build complete development pathways — from design and component strategy to prototype production and finished presentation.
Davmore’s Role in New Bicycle OEM Development
For new bicycle manufacturers entering the global OEM market, the challenges often include:
- Limited initial factory readiness
- Tight development schedules
- Tooling cost concerns
- Need for reliable frame and component design support
- Pressure to present complete products to international customers quickly
Davmore helps solve these challenges by offering:
- Bicycle frame design support
- Welding part and machined component development
- Forged and CNC bicycle parts
- Access to standard tooling and common molds
- Coordinated welding and finishing support
- Faster sample development for market entry
Our goal is to help customers launch faster, reduce risk, and create stronger manufacturing foundations.
Conclusion
Davmore’s cooperation with this new bicycle manufacturer in Mumbai, India, is a strong example of how the right development partner can accelerate entry into the international bicycle OEM market.
By supporting frame design, component drawing development, standard tooling selection, sample production, welding coordination, and painting, we helped the customer move from concept to exhibition-ready products in just two months — even before their own welding factory was fully completed.
The result was not only a successful product launch, but also a strong first step into the global bicycle frame welding OEM market.
