SparePartsNow GmbH

SparePartsNow GmbH operates what it describes as Europe's leading digital platform for industrial spare parts. The company was founded in 2021 by Dr. Christian Hoffart and Sebastian Kleinschmager, with the concept originating in 2020, and is headquartered in Germany. Its stated aim is to make B2B procurement of spare parts as simple and fast as consumer e-commerce, connecting suppliers directly with end customers and removing intermediaries and opaque pricing from the transaction.

On the technical side, the company works across artificial intelligence, computer vision and image recognition, e-commerce marketplace engineering and digital procurement automation. Its AI-powered photo search identifies spare parts instantly from a user-uploaded image. The underlying marketplace lists over 3 million components across drive technology, hydraulics, pneumatics and electronics, and covers maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) workflows for industrial manufacturing customers across Europe.

Beyond parts distribution, the SPAREPARTSNOW ecosystem includes repair services, a network of technicians and an exchange spindle business - the company is the largest manufacturer-independent supplier of exchange spindles, with more than 450 units in stock. The platform claims customer savings of up to 50% versus traditional channels and 100% quality assurance on listed parts.
