Case study: alsico Europe from Ronse
Alsico is a family business founded in 1934 that has grown into one of the leading designers and manufacturers of workwear in Europe. With a team of more than 8,000 employees, active across 5 continents, and a supply chain of more than 20 strategically located owned factories, alsico continues to push boundaries in innovative, comfortable and protective workwear. Alsico improves the lives of people in the workplace without compromising on what truly matters. All of this with the goal of enabling employees worldwide to perform at their best.
In collaboration with Cyclobility, alsico has been offering bike leasing to its employees since 2021. Jennyfer Plasschaert, Human Resources Manager at alsico Europe: “Cyclobility provides us with a complete service, from ordering to delivery of the bikes. They organize info sessions and test events for our employees. In addition, they visit us with their mobile service for annual maintenance and support our employees with maintenance in-store. This makes bike leasing simple and accessible.”
The extra (s)mile
It goes without saying that bike leasing fits perfectly within alsico’s sustainability story. The fact that it also makes the company more attractive to employees is an added bonus.
Still, for Jennyfer there are 3 more good reasons to choose Cyclobility:
- Local presence: Cyclobility has a store in Kluisbergen close to the company, which is a big plus for alsico employees
- Complete peace of mind: Cyclobility fully relieves the HR department, from implementing the bike policy to handling orders and providing a user-friendly tool for administrative follow-up
- Tailored support: Cyclobility not only provides technical support but also offers valuable advice on, among other things, the social and legal aspects of bike leasing
Are you following alsico?
Today, around 15 employees are cycling, mainly on electric bikes - thanks to this collaboration, which also benefits their well-being. Would Jennyfer recommend Cyclobility to other companies? “Andries and his team really know what they’re doing, they have great expertise and take everything off our hands,” says Jennyfer. A clear YES!
