Pedro's, an internationally known USA-based supplier of high quality
bicycle tools, lubricants and care products, is moving its headquarters and
research and development from Wilmington to Haverhill. Pedro's will take up
about one quarter of the 16,000 square feet of office space on the first
floor of the eight-story Nofsker building at 147 Essex St.
Here, Pedro's CEO, Christopher Zigmont of Exeter, N.H., demonstrates one
of the tools his company uses to determine the effectiveness of its bicycle
chain lubricating products. An electric motor turn the crank of a bicycle
wheel and allows the lubricated chain to revolve for as long as company
engineers want.
About a dozen of the company's employees will move to Haverhill and many
will be using the train to get to work each day, including Zigmont. He said
having a train station nearby as well as being close to downtown
restaurants were some of the factors that drew his company to Haverhill.
Pedro's shipping and receiving center will be in the Ward Hill Business
Park. Pedro's lubrication products are manufactured in Fitchburg and its
bicycle tools are made in Asia.

moving into.
