The Story
Brompton has made the same folding bicycle in West London since 1975, refusing to offshore manufacturing or dilute its hand-built ethos despite global demand. Every bike is still assembled by hand and carries a lifetime of considered engineering refinement.
Key Insight
Keeping manufacturing local and manual at scale is a radical act — and customers pay a premium to support it.
