Brothers Peter and Dick Dreissigacker started Concept2 in 1976 in a Vermont barn with the vision of creating innovative, quality rowing products for training and racing.\u00a0<\/p>

Even though we have outgrown the barn, and our community has expanded well beyond rowing, our founder’s original vision influences our business today. We continue to look for ways to make our products better and support our customers.<\/p>

In January 2025, the\u00a0Concept2 Perpetual Purpose Trust<\/a>\u00a0was established to take on \u201cperpetual\u201d ownership of the company. The Perpetual Purpose Trust will ensure that our founders\u2019 vision and mission will be carried out by us, Concept2\u2019s employees. The Perpetual Purpose Trust Stewardship Committee, which includes the company founders and designated employees, directs Concept2\u2019s management and operations in a manner that maintains continuity.\u00a0<\/p>

When you choose Concept2, you can be confident that your investment is protected by a successful, experienced company with a worldwide reputation for best-in-class products and unmatched customer service.\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
