ZEG operates as Europe's largest independent bike retail network—a cooperative of ~1,000+ member shops—while running manufacturing, product data systems, and two owned brands (BULLS and PEGASUS) from a tech center in Cologne. The tech stack reveals a manufacturing-heavy operation (Infor LN, SolidWorks, Akeneo for product data) paired with retail logistics tooling; hiring velocity is accelerating across logistics, manufacturing, and product roles, signaling expansion of in-house bike assembly and supply-chain digitalization.
