Over 40% growth in business over the past two years is something, which each company with 20 years of history would be proud of. Plovdiv-based bicycle manufacturer Leader - 96 already looks ambitiously to third consecutive year with a similar increase. The estimates seem feasible - in February the company opened its new factory, which doubled its capacity and can now produce over 500 thousand bikes a year, and major European markets are enjoying a growing interest. The company has a new engine as well – a financial investor entered the company pouring EUR 7 mln in the business. The Finnish fund KJK Capital acquires 60% stake in Leader - 96 through a capital increase for its investment. The other shares are owned by the founders of the company - Peter Kurshumov, Georgi Zlatanov and his son Dimitar Zlatanov.
