Coimbra. SRAM expects to create 530 new jobs

Observador4 September 2026 at 00:10

The North American multinational SRAM expects to create 530 new jobs in Coimbra, representing an investment of 57 million euros. The company, specialized in the production of components for bicycles, received state support of 30% to carry out this project.

With this expansion, SRAM intends to produce in Portugal all the components needed to equip a bicycle from scratch, from the smallest elements to the most complex ones. This is a project aimed at strengthening the company's production capacity in the country.

The Coimbra unit will thus become a complete factory for bicycle components, allowing SRAM to have full control over the entire production chain. This decision positions Portugal as a strategic hub for the company in the sustainable mobility sector.

European Union without immediate risk of gas supply despite low reserves

The European Commission announced that, although EU gas storage levels are below those recorded in previous years, there is no immediate risk to energy supply security. The Gas Coordination Group's assessment indicates that the EU is more prepared than in 2021 and 2022, thanks to the diversification of supply sources, increased LNG import capacity and reduced demand. However, instability in the Middle East keeps Qatar's LNG production suspended, and heat waves in Europe increased gas demand for electricity production, causing price volatility. Portugal stands out with 93.08% of reserves full, one of the highest rates in the EU. A new group meeting is scheduled for September 24.
