The Concept2 Legacy

Concept2 was founded in 1976 by brothers Peter and Dick Dreissigacker, who started designing rowing equipment in a Vermont barn with a simple mission: to create innovative, high-quality rowing products for training and competition.

From those early days, Concept2 has grown into a global leader in rowing and fitness equipment. Today, with a team of over 100 employees, we continue to uphold the founders’ vision—engineering, manufacturing, and supporting world-class fitness products that empower rowers, athletes, and fitness enthusiasts alike.

Since 1981, Concept2 has been at the forefront of rowing innovation, developing equipment that caters to athletes of all levels. The Concept2 RowErg has established itself as the Gold Standard in rowing machines, trusted by Olympians, commercial gyms, and home users.

The brand is renowned for its commitment to innovation, quality, and value for money, which has helped it carve a niche in the competitive UK market.
