AndreZA Posted May 20, 2008 Share Merida is a Taiwan-based firm that was founded in 1972 to supply Raleigh with bikes ? the first Merida factory was actually a replica of the Raleigh Nottingham factory. Merida claims it was also the first bike brand to develop a robot welding facility.Its UK operation, set up in 1995, accounts for a small proportion of the bikes it sells Europe-wide, but with its 2008 range looking better than ever, we expect to see plenty more Merida bikes out on the trails.Merida also makes bikes for loads of other brands, and its output from its three factories in Taiwan and China makes it one of the biggest bike manufacturers on the planet.taken from: http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/frames/mountain/product/ninety-six-team-d-08-31611 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
