Salcano is a Turkish bicycle manufacturer based in Istanbul. It was founded in 1975 as a family company under the name Salko Bicycle.[1]
The company produces a variety of bicycles including road bikes, mountain bikes, hybrid bikes, city bikes (aka utility bikes), and children bikes.[2]
The company's 16,000 m² factory in Istanbul produces bicycles and also manufactures other parts such as wheels and tires; the company currently produces 225,000 parts annually.[3]
In January 2021, the company broke ground on a new factory[4] in Lüleburgaz, expanding its manufacturing area to 40,000 m² in total and expanding production capacity to 500,000 bicycles per year.[5]
In 2011, the company sponsored a Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) Mountain bike racing team known as ANKARAGUCU - SALCANO.[6]
