What Kublbeck Gmbh & Co. Kg does

Küblbeck GmbH & Co. KG is a fourth-generation family-owned wholesale distributor founded in 1925 and headquartered in Weiden, Bavaria. The company distributes automotive spare parts, workshop equipment, power and hand tools, cleaning equipment, business furnishings, and household appliances to independent automotive workshops and trade customers across Bavaria, Austria, and the Czech Republic. It also operates six company-owned BOSCH Car Service workshops (including two BOSCH Diesel Centers) and two kitchen studios, and resells telecommunications and telematics solutions.

Its core distribution model combines a central warehouse holding 300,000+ articles sourced from 300+ suppliers (Bosch, Hella, ZF, FEBI, Kärcher, Makita, Milwaukee, Nilfisk, etc.) with 12 regional branches capable of delivering up to four times daily and offering night express service for orders placed by 18:00. The proprietary CENTROdigital parts catalog and CENTROfaktura workshop management software provide the digital ordering and operations backbone for partner workshops. Workshop concepts (BOSCH Car Service, 1a autoservice, AutoCrew, Freie Werkstatt, BOSCH Module) and the Küblbeck Mobilitätsgarantie mobility guarantee program (delivered with Europ Assistance) are layered on top of the wholesale core.

Küblbeck generates revenue from product wholesale (transaction-based), workshop services (professional services), kitchen studio and household appliance sales (hardware), and ancillary telecom/telematics sales. The Bosch relationship, originating in 1926, is structural to the business and underpins both supply and the BOSCH-branded workshop and diesel-center operations. Managing directors Julian Küblbeck (joined 2013) and Timon Küblbeck (joined 2020) lead the company in its fourth generation of family ownership.

Product overview

Küblbeck GmbH & Co. KG operates as a multi-category automotive aftermarket distributor and workshop service provider.
