FOR THE DEALER AND WITH THE DEALER
That is the summary of our strategy.
As an ambitious distributor, we want to think along with our dealers and strive for a close and sincere partnership to further stimulate cycling craze in our region. Chain to the right and Full Gas!
The start
In 1927, the foundation was laid for today's CODAGEX. What once started as a small business in hardware and bicycle parts, called COmptoir DAGence EXclusive, has today grown into an ambitious specialist in Race, Mountain Bike and Gravel.
The passion
The passion for hardware was significantly smaller than for the bicycle ... and more and more attention and focus went to this part of the company. Codagex was no longer a hardware store, but became leading name in the distribution of bicycles and bicycle parts.
The growth
The interest of the general public in cycling steadily grew. Not only to passively enjoy it, but also to actively climb onto the bike yourself. Codagex was at the front of the line to bring exclusive and premium bicycles and bicycle parts to the BeNeLux.
The take over
In 2022, Codagex was acquired and a new wind is blowing through the company and the team. With reinforced dynamics, the team has determined a strategy to build a close and sincere partnership with our brands and our dealers. For the dealer, with the dealer and at the dealer. #resetandgo
The industry
The cycling industry came to an abrupt halt after the crazy growth years during Covid. 2023 turned out to be a challenging year... but at the end of the day the Codagex team was still able to achieve a moderate growth. #proud
The continued growth
We start 2024 full of enthusiasm and with a strong team in good shape. If the enthusiasm we felt at Velofollies was genuine, then 2024 should be a more normal year in the industry again with a bit of growth (?). #ready
The future
The finish is certainly not in sight yet. We remain focused on always offering the best products and service to our customers. #focus #neverfinished
