BRN – Bike Components

BRN specializes in the sale of components and spare parts for the BIKE world and is a
point of reference for the entire sector. The company has been in business for more
than 60 years and is now managed by the third generation of the founder’s family.

Faced with a constant increase in sales volumes, the company decided to merge all
its branch offices located throughout the territory into a single new site designed
from the outset to optimize both the processing stages and all activities related to
customer service and logistics management.
