Core offering

PIX Germany GmbH manufactures and distributes mechanical power transmission belts and complementary drive components under the PIX brand. The core portfolio includes V-belts, ribbed/poly-V belts, timing/synchronous belts, banded V-belts, and special construction belts manufactured from proprietary EPDM and Polychloroprene rubber compounds. Products are sold to industrial, automotive, agricultural, and heavy-equipment customers across Europe and globally via subsidiaries and a network of 250+ distribution partners.

Product overview

PIX Germany GmbH is the European subsidiary of PIX Transmissions Ltd, a publicly listed Indian manufacturer and one of the world's most reliable producers of mechanical power transmission solutions. The company offers an integrated portfolio of mechanical drive components centered on a broad range of belts (V-belts, ribbed/poly-V belts, timing/synchronous belts, banded V-belts, and special construction belts) across three primary end-market segments: automotive, agricultural, and industrial/lawn & garden. The product range spans wrap belts (classic and heavy-duty), raw-edge cogged belts (single and banded), fire-resistant (FRAS/ATEX) belts, and high-performance MUSCLE series maintenance-free belts. This belt portfolio is complemented by the PowerWare® sub-brand covering pulleys, couplings, and tensioner/idler assemblies, and by a dedicated accessories line featuring belt measurement tools, tension testers, pulley alignment lasers, profile gauges, and cutting machines. PIX Germany operates a web shop for business partners and provides digital drive design tools (desktop and mobile apps), but the core offering is physical mechanical components rather than software-as-a-service.
