Bogaert Transmission

What Bogaert Transmission does

Bogaert Transmission BVBA is a privately held Belgian family-owned industrial distributor founded in 1978 and headquartered in Londerzeel, Belgium. The company specializes in drive technology, conveyor systems, and transport belt components, operating through four specialized divisions: BMCS (focused on plastic and stainless steel chains and transport mats for the food & beverage sector), Geha, BT (drive technology), and BT France (serving the French market). It employs more than 40 staff and serves industrial, logistics, and food & beverage customers across Belgium and France.

The company operates as a multi-line distributor and value-added service provider for a broad portfolio of power transmission components: industrial chains, conveying solutions, bearings and pillow blocks, drive components, gearboxes, gearmotors and electric motors, and belts and pulleys. It holds Core-tier distribution relationships with Tier-1 OEMs including Rossi, Murtfeldt, RegalRexnord, Schaeffler, SKF, Timken, Gates, Optibelt, Habasit, Ammeraal Beltech, Chiorino, Megadyne, Forbo Siegling, and Rexnord, and sells its own BTC-branded taper bushes, sprockets, gears, and Xlife+ roller chains. An in-house custom machining workshop enables modifications, hardening treatments, and bespoke part production, including aluminum chain wheels. Bogaert generates revenue through hardware sales drawn from an extensive Londerzeel warehouse and through professional technical services including on-site inspections, assembly, installation, and periodic maintenance contracts.

Bogaert employs a sales-led, direct go-to-market model combining a field sales team of engineers and technicians, on-site customer visits, a physical counter sales channel for immediate pickup, and content marketing through its website and a low-frequency newsletter (maximum six times per year). Its primary segments are industrial manufacturing, logistics, and food & beverage, with named enterprise customers including Brouwerij der Trappisten in Westmalle and Intersig. There are no known funding rounds, no external parent, and no public pricing. On June 28, 2026, a major fire affected the original headquarters; the company has since relocated operations to a temporary site at Technologielaan 31, Londerzeel, and is rebuilding inventory and IT systems while maintaining customer service.
