The main business of Leader 96 OOD, whose production facilities are located in Rogosh Village, in Plovdiv District, is the production of all kinds of bicycles - children, mountaineering, urban, racing, and for one year now electric. Annually about 250 000 bicycles are being produced, 90% of which are destined for export - mainly to EU countries - the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France as well as for Switzerland and Russia. The growing demand and corporate policy, aimed at increasing the market share, made the company launch a major investment project to expand the production base, which will be completed in 2016. In order to increase the production capacity, investing in new high-tech equipment is envisaged, which requires the creation of new jobs in the company for machine operators, bicycle assemblers, workers, etc. Creating incentives for employers to create new jobs under this procedure, as well as the forecast internal corporate training will contribute to overcome this problem.
