Wild on China! SE Factory 2009

Sun, Mar 15, 2009

I come over to our factory here in Dongguan, China about 4 times a year. Take a look at the photos I took of the factory & I think it’ll give you a different impression of what “factory life” looks like over here in Asia. This place is top notch.

: Check the cool little green bike dudes. There are THOUSANDS of these little guys all around the factory

: Not a bad looking fountain out front.

: Can you feel the Asian zen? Our factory peeps in China have got it goin’ on.

: Weird bikes, but cool vibe & architecture.

: There are all kinds of funny “Ancient Chinese Proverbs” posted all around the offices & stuff

: Bicycle lighting anyone?

: More bike art. If you’ve ever been to my house, then you know I am super into this st

: More bike art in the front entrance way.

: Peep the cool little open aired meeting spot. Those are bike chains hangin’ down from the ceiling. Pretty cool….

: The sexy Asian front desk girls ducked under he podium right when I took this photo. Dang it.

: Ah, there it is in all it’s glory. The front of SE’s factory. This place is so big, it sits on like 10 acres or more.

: Ever wonder how wheels get built up?

: I can think of a million other jobs that I’d rather have.

: Wheels on the way to the true-ing machine.

: Ahh,it’s so cool to see the bikes that you designed getting built up. These are the SE Lager Single Speed bikes.

: More Lager frames waiting to get built up into bikes.

: White Lagers waiting in to jump into the assembly line.

: They got this bike assembly stuff down to a science.

: Ever watch the into to Lavern & Shirley? That’s the song that runs though my mind when I see stuff like this. “Schlemeel, schlemazel, hasenfeffer incorporated.”
