About SKS GERMANY
Who doesn't know it: the legendary Rennkompressor from SKS GERMANY ? It is something special when a company succeeds in developing a product that is still in the range decades later. The Rennkompressor is such a product. It is more than just an air pump. It is a piece of bicycle history and a piece of company history. It stands for bicycle pumps made in Germany. It is synonymous with bicycle pumps from SKS GERMANY.
Air pumps are an important part of the product range of the bicycle accessories specialist from Sauerland. Yet the history of SKS GERMANY once began with a different product. The brand was founded in 1921 and initially produced curtain rods. The company headquarters have always been in Sundern, in the middle of the Sauerland region. In 1932, the company took over an air pump manufacturer from the region: the beginning of SKS GERMANY as a bicycle parts specialist.
In 1966, SKS GERMANY presented the Rennkompressor. A milestone for the company, which continued to develop. In the meantime, the processing of plastic had entered production and with it a new product category: the SKS GERMANY wheel guard. By wheel guard, the brand meant the classic mudguard. Because plastic was used and not sheet metal, a new name was chosen. In the meantime, they have returned to the classic term of mudguard. Today, bicycle bags, luggage racks, mobile phone holders and all kinds of practical accessories complete the product range.
