Concar

What Concar does

ConCar Industrietechnik GmbH is a German industrial drive technology distributor founded in 1976 and headquartered in Hohenkammer, Bavaria. The company is family-owned, led by managing directors Daniela and Boris Engelbrecht, and operates exclusively as a B2B supplier to industrial manufacturers. It distributes belts, bearings, chains, linear technology components, couplings, and seals sourced from premium manufacturers — including Gates, iwis, NSK, KTR, SKF, ContiTech, Bando, EWELLIX, Flender, and Timken — alongside its own ConCar private-label belt range spanning V-belts, timing belts, power bands, wide-angle belts, ribbed belts, and double V-belts, including a sustainability-oriented ConCar GreenLine.

Commercially, ConCar runs a sales-led go-to-market combining a dedicated e-commerce webshop (concar-shop.de), direct sales through its corporate website, and technical consultation supported by the proprietary BeltCalculator CCBC 1.0 sizing tool. Pricing is catalog- and quote-based with no public price disclosure, and many SKUs are stocked for short lead-time delivery. The company also offers value-added services through an in-house Bearbeitungs-Center (machining center) and an engineering function that supports specification and customization work for industrial customers. Marketing reach is built around the corporate website, social channels (Facebook, LinkedIn, Xing, Instagram), and an email newsletter.

The company's footprint is concentrated in the DACH region, served from a single operating site. It holds registered trademarks for the 'ConCar' name (German Patent and Trademark Office, Reg. 2085918) and the 'powered by passion' tagline (EUIPO, Reg. 30 2015 010 746), and in 2026 marked its 50th anniversary. Its strategic posture reflects a long-tenured specialist distributor expanding incrementally via private-label products, digital tools, and brand-building rather than via acquisitions or external capital.

Core offering

ConCar is a B2B specialist distributor of industrial drive technology components, offering V-belts, timing belts, power bands, bearings, chains, linear technology components, couplings, and seals sourced from premium manufacturers (Gates, iwis, NSK, KTR, SKF, ContiTech, Bando, EWELLIX, Flender, Timken). The company supplements the distributed range with its own ConCar private-label belt brand and provides technical services including a proprietary BeltCalculator tool, engineering support, and an in-house machining center for custom processing.

Product overview

ConCar is an industrial power transmission systems specialist with 50 years of experience (since 1976), offering a comprehensive portfolio of quality products for industrial drive applications. The product range centers on belts (V-belts, timing belts, power bands, wide-angle belts, flat belts), but also encompasses bearings, chains, linear technology components, seals, and couplings. ConCar's own ConCar brand (Riemenmarke) is a key differentiator, offering proprietary V-belts, timing belts, power bands, and related belt products. The company operates primarily as a distributor of premium manufacturers including Gates, iwis, NSK, KTR, SKF, ContiTech, Bando, EWELLIX, and Flender, with many products available from stock. Beyond product distribution, ConCar provides technical services including the BeltCalculator CCBC 1.0 calculation tool, engineering support, and a machining center for custom processing.
