The Dutch reel specialist Tacx is proud of its origins. And he proves that again and again. In 1958, Koos Tacx Senior started as a two-wheeler manufacturer in the center of Wassenaar, The Hague, developing products for cyclists. Since then, the company has developed into one of the leading manufacturers of home trainers, bike tools, bike bottles and bottle cages. Tacx products can now be found in more than 60 countries. It is remarkable that the majority of all products are still designed, developed and manufactured in the Netherlands. A look behind the scenes offers an exciting insight into everyday company life in Wassanaar.
