Csepel, one of Hungary’s most iconic companies, was established in 1928 by Manfréd Weiss, a visionary industrialist. Located on Csepel Island near Budapest, the company initially produced bicycles, quickly gaining recognition for their quality and durability. Over time, Csepel expanded into manufacturing motorcycles, engines, and heavy machinery, becoming a significant player in Hungarian industry.
During World War II, the company shifted production to military equipment, a turning point in its history. Post-war, it became state-owned and focused on civilian goods, including the widely popular Csepel bicycles, which remain a beloved brand in Hungary to this day. Other notable products included Csepel motorcycles and industrial equipment, exported worldwide.
Csepel’s commitment to innovation and quality established it as a symbol of Hungarian engineering. Today, its legacy continues to inspire, reflecting a proud chapter in Hungary’s industrial history.
