What Beissbarth Automotive Testing Solutions does

Beissbarth Automotive Testing Solutions GmbH is a German manufacturer of precision automotive testing and service equipment for workshops, testing centers, and OEM dealership networks. Founded in Munich in 1899 as Bavaria's first automobile factory and reinvented as a workshop-equipment specialist from the late 1940s onward, the company today designs and builds wheel alignment systems (Q.Lign, Q.Lign 360, Q.Lign T-Serie, Easy CCD, Easy 3D+, plus the patented Touchless contactless laser system), modular ADAS calibration (Q.DAS), tire service equipment (Easy Tread 2.0 automated tread scanner, G.50P wheel balancer, Akimbo tire changers), brake testers for passenger cars and trucks (QB.4 and BD 4xxx/6000/7000/8000 series), headlight testing devices (MLD 9000), and complete test lane systems, supported by RaceScales accessories and the Q.mApp mobile software. The product architecture is built around camera-, laser-, CCD-, and inclinometer-based measurement combined with web-based software platforms, and the company holds more than 560 registered patents spanning wheel alignment, ADAS calibration, and tire service technologies.

Beissbarth generates revenue through five distinct streams: one-time hardware sales of testing and service equipment to workshops and OEMs, recurring annual software licenses (vehicle data, updates, functionality extensions managed through the License Center), service and warranty contracts (technical support, spare parts, on-site technicians via the ATW-Warranty Portal), paid Training Academy courses for dealers and service partners (both on-site and webinar formats in German, English, Italian, and Spanish), and OEM-branded solutions licensed to car manufacturers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based through regional sales directors and authorized dealers. Distribution combines a direct enterprise sales force — six postal-code-segmented regional directors covering DACH plus international sales managers for Western/Southern Europe, Northern/Eastern Europe, Italy, and Asia-Pacific — with a channel network of more than 250 authorized dealers and service partners, and a dedicated OEM Key Account function (Johann Legen). The company is a member of the Stertil Group, is headquartered at Friedrichshafener Strasse 602 in Gilching, Germany, and holds OEM approvals from Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Jaguar Land Rover, Tesla, Porsche, and Maserati, with BMW officially recommending Q.Lign worldwide as of March 2026.
