Discover how

  • Design in-house

    We design our bicycle seats in-house. This way we maintain control over the entire design, down to the smallest details. This means that we not only pay attention to the functionality of the seats, but also to their aesthetics and ergonomics. This close collaboration between design and production allows us to produce seats that not only meet the highest quality standards, but also meet the expectations of you and your child on the bike.

  • Sustainable production

    Our factory is sustainable with solar panels on the roofs for efficient energy use. Our solar panels generate more than half of the required annual energy. For the rest, Qibbel purchases green energy to protect the environment as much as possible. In addition, our factory hall has a sustainable cooling and ventilation system that ensures a pleasant working climate, even on hot days. This not only contributes to the well-being of our employees, but also to the optimal functioning of our machines.

  • Packaging without plastic

    We package our bicycle seats without plastic, which means less waste and is better for the environment. In addition, our cardboard meets strict sustainability standards. This means that the cardboard comes from forests that are managed responsibly, and that the production process is environmentally friendly.

  • Distribution with reduced CO2 emissions

    Our choice for local production and assembly contributes to reduced CO2 emissions, as transport distances are kept to a minimum compared to products produced elsewhere in the world.

  • In-house repair

    If a Qibbel bicycle seat unexpectedly breaks, service parts are available to repair it. If repairs are necessary at our factory, this is also possible. This not only saves costs, but also contributes to the sustainability and lifespan of our bicycle seats.

    Did you know that?

    <1% of the delivered seats are returned, of which we can save 90%.

  • Recycling and waste reduction

    Within our factory we have special waste bins and we use recycling processes. Used paper, cardboard, metal scraps and plastic are recycled, allowing us to minimize waste and reuse raw materials.

  • Design in eigen beheer

    Het ontwerp van onze fietsstoeltjes doen we intern. Zo houden we de controle over het volledige ontwerp, tot in de kleinste details. Dit betekent dat we niet alleen aandacht besteden aan de functionaliteit van de stoeltjes, maar ook aan hun esthetiek en ergonomie. Door deze nauwe samenwerking tussen ontwerp en productie kunnen we stoeltjes produceren die niet alleen aan de hoogste kwaliteitsnormen voldoen, maar ook voldoen aan de verwachtingen van jou en je kindje op de fiets.

  • Duurzame productie

    Onze fabriek is duurzaam met zonnepanelen op het daken efficiënt energiegebruik. Onze zonnepanelen wekken meerdan de helft van de benodigde jaarlijkse energie op. Voorde rest koopt Qibbel groene energie in om het milieu zo veelmogelijk te ontzien. Daarnaast beschikt onze fabriekshal overeen duurzaam koel- en ventilatiesysteem dat zorgt voor eenaangenaam werkklimaat, zelfs op warme dagen. Dit draagtniet alleen bij aan het welzijn van onze medewerkers,maar ook aan de optimale werking van onze machines.

Socially responsible

We contribute to social responsibility by outsourcing the assembly of parts to social partners where people at a distance from the labor market work. This means that we not only produce high-quality products, but also contribute to creating opportunities and employment for people who might otherwise have had difficulty accessing the labor market. This collaboration enables us to manufacture our products with a positive impact on society as a whole. As a UNICEF Business Buddie we support the Plastic Bricks project in Ivory Coast. We use this to make plastic building blocks for schools, promote education and contribute to environmental awareness. In this way we contribute to a better future for children worldwide.
