The history of Schwalbe dates back to the early 20th century when the Bohle family set up their first company in England's nascent bicycle industry. As early as 1922 they opened a distribution centre for bicycle components in Germany, where they now have their headquarters in Reichshof-Wehnrath. In 1983 they created the Marathon tyre, the first long life and high puncture resistance tyre.

Schwalbe was the pioneer in giving a second life to tyres, launching its recycling initiative in 1993. In this way, they prevent the incineration of millions of tyres and inner tubes, turning the old wheels once again into raw materials such as steel or granulated rubber, which is used to pave athletic tracks or playgrounds.
