Seeing the need to service our products and quickly deliver products to factories and offices in Europe convinced GW to open a facility in Barcelona. We are in the final stages of getting the operation up and running and plan to be fully running by the end of 2020.
At GW Europe (GW EU), we have stock of our most popular products which can be used to facilitate small production runs or as warranty replacements. Thanks to being centrally located, GW EU will be able to quickly ship products throughout the European Union.
In order to improve after-sales service, the facility will function as a service center staffed with GW trained technicians who can quickly diagnose and service hubs to ensure a rider faces minimal downtime.
Another advantage of being located in Barcelona is that it’s in close proximity to excellent riding and great dining. This will allow us to host events where we introduce new products which can be test ridden on the local roads and trails.
If you’re looking for a headset that offers increased protection against water entry, check out our FIT series of headsets. We use a unique seal system that offers solid layer of protection but still allows the headset to rotate smoothly. In addition, the FIT headset top covers can easily be customized at a lower cost than traditional designs. We have a wide range of standard sizes to fit most bikes on the market.

Bicycles are an environmentally friendly form of transportation but manufacturing them isn’t always a clean process. GW is working hard reduce the environmental impact of making bike parts.
When machining alloy parts, we need to use cutting fluid. During machining, cutting fluid is mixed with alloy shavings which are removed from the machine. We collect this mix and use a compressor that forces out the cutting fluid. The cutting fluid is collected, filtered then reused.
By using this process, we’re able to effectively reduce the amount of chemicals that can leak into groundwater and reduce the amount of cutting fluid we use. We’re always looking for new ways to make bikes a greener choice.
