Gotta be a Chinese manufacturer:
Which country is the biggest producer of bicycles?
China.
Although bicycles are produced in dozens of countries, the top five producers - China, India, the European Union, Taiwan, and Japan - are responsible for 87% of global production. China alone had some 58 percent of the global market in 2004.

I'd have thought someone like Merida/Canyon/ etc would come higher.
Nukeproof?!

Schwinn
SRAM - they seem to have a brand for everything
Shimano
I believe Giant are the largest in the world by some margin. Merida own at least 49% of Spec. IIRC they own the majority now.
"Bicycle World" would suggest Shimano as above - whilst they don't make actual bikes, they make almost everything else involved, and it is rare to have a bike without any kind of shimano parts, or at least shimano influenced parts.
