Germany. Bicycle parts.
Sure, the market leaders for drivetrain components are Shimano from Japan and Sram from the US.
But look into the higher-priced niches and there's:

  • Bosch, market leader for e-bike motors
  • Schwalbe and Continental, market leaders for bicycle tires
  • SKS, market leader for bike accessories like fenders
  • Ortlieb and Vaude, market leaders for bike bags
  • Rohloff, makes the best gear hubs in the world
  • Pinion, makes the best bottom bracket gearbox in the world
  • SON, makes the best hub dynamos in the world
  • Busch & Müller, makes the best bicycle lights in the world

I’m still using a (Son) dynamo Busch and Müller light from a decade ago on my touring bike. It’s so reliable and the beam pattern is better than on my car. I also have schwalbe marathons and ortlieb panniers on that bike. Such a good setup for a bike built like a tank. It might be fully German if it wasn’t a Fuji with a Shimano groupset.
