STARTING WITH AN idea                         to 3D model                  to physical frame to test ride

A product idea can be a sketch on a napkin, or a 3D rendering on your laptop. The next step is to find a manufacturer. For some, the far-east intimidates them, the high minimum ordering quantity, unknown quality, communication barrier, and concerns about labor's working environment. 

This is where we come in. Having our team physically at the manufacturer's site ensures you get punctual delivery, good quality, no miscommunication in product development, and most importantly, making sure your product is produced in a socially responsible factory where no workers are mistreated. 

OEM work is the soul of Leeche International. We pride ourselves in setting up the best supply chain for your aspiring bike brand. 

We have a very resourceful pool of frame suppliers that does work for Trek, Devinci, Ritchey, Yeti, Canyon, YT Industries, Jeff Jones, DMR, Genesis, Transition, Salsa, and Surly just to name a few. We work with the finest steel, titanium, aluminum suspension, and carbon frame manufacturer in Asia.
