The company manufactures up to 1,400 bicycles per day; approximately two third with electric motors. Products made by Diamant are renowned and reputed around the globe primarily because of their excellent manufacturing quality and their outstanding sporting values.

This standard has already been maintained for almost 140 years now: In 1885, the brothers Friedrich and Wilhelm Nevoigt founded their first joint company near Chemnitz which originally focused on warp-knitting machines. Ten years later, the Nevoigt brothers launched their first Diamant bicycle on the market which marked the beginning of a true success story "Made in Saxony". Over the next few decades, the company’s innovations played a decisive role in determining the standards of the branch. Bicycles bearing the famous Diamant trademark were often to be found among the winners of important bicycle races.

Since 2003, Diamant has been part of the family-operated bike manufacturer Trek Bicycle from the USA. Today, the Diamant Fahrradwerke GmbH corporation employs more than 700 people. The company develops bike frames and other components in-house, has them produced by partners, and then assembles them on its own premises.
