The Swedish Armed Forces' orders for soldier bicycles could be a salvation for Monark's bicycle factory in Vansbro.

This summer there were plans to close the factory, writes Falukuriren .

When we took over, the factory was being dismantled, but the team has really worked hard to restart production. Now we also have reason to rehire more people – probably 6–8 people, says Håkan Alfon, business manager at Norrmyren who took over Monark in June this year, to the newspaper.

The agreement with the Armed Forces involves orders for 500 bicycles per year, but there could also be more.
