The Contec brand was launched in 2005 by Hermann Hartje KG. The company is based in Hoya, Lower Saxony, and is a traditional wholesaler for bicycles, bike parts and accessories. The name Contec is a combination of the words Components and Technology. Contec was created as an own brand to offer retailers and workshops a broad range of high-quality yet affordable bicycle components. Since its foundation, the brand has steadily evolved and continuously expanded its product line.
The first products included basic bicycle components such as pedals, brakes and drivetrain parts. Over time, bottle cages, handlebar grips, seatposts, stems, mudguards, kickstands, lighting systems, locks and tools were added. Today Contec offers a full range covering nearly every area of bicycle technology, from chains and bottom brackets to luggage box systems and rearview mirrors.
Contec products are distributed throughout Europe via bicycle retailers and online shops. The brand is available in more than ten countries, including Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, the Netherlands and Denmark. The exact number of sales outlets amounts to several thousand specialist dealers supplied through the Contec partner network.
Contec offers a choice between different specification lines and price levels. Pedals are available as simple nylon platform pedals or as SPD system pedals for use with clipless shoes. Bottle cages are offered in aluminium or plastic. Many products come in several colour variants and cover different areas of use from city bikes to mountain bikes.
