H&R Spezialfedern acquires STOCK & STEIN, including the TREKFINDER brand

Off-road specialist STOCK & STEIN will be repositioned as of 1 June 2026 – plans include expanding the product portfolio, sales and international marketing.

Lennestadt, May 2026 – H&R Spezialfedern GmbH & Co. KG is taking over STOCK & STEIN GmbH, including the established off-road brand TREKFINDER, on 1 June 2026. The company, which has specialised in off-road accessories since 1995, is thus being reorganised at an early stage and with a view to the future as part of a structured business succession.

Over many years, STOCK & STEIN has made a name for itself as a specialist in high-quality off-road accessories. Its product portfolio includes, amongst other things, suspension components, lift kits, protective and add-on parts, as well as practical accessories for off-road-, road trip- and adventure vehicles.

Following the takeover by the H&R Group, the TREKFINDER brand and the existing off-road range are set to undergo systematic further development. The aim is to expand the product portfolio, extend the distribution network and significantly strengthen the international marketing of the products. The existing websites www.TREKFINDER.de and www.STOCKundSTEIN.de will remain key digital sales channels and are set to be further developed as part of the future sales strategy. At the same time, the synergies between the two companies will be fully utilised.

H&R’s many years of experience, technical expertise and engineering will play an increasingly significant role in the development of new TREKFINDER products. Logistical processes will also be restructured: in future, all operations will be handled entirely by the high-performance H&R Logistics Centre.

In future, Yannick C. Remmen, Managing Director at H&R, will take over the management of STOCK & STEIN GmbH. Company founder Henrik Schmidt will remain closely associated with the company and will continue to be responsible for commercial management. This ensures that both, the expertise the company has built up over the years and its long-standing market and product knowledge, are retained within the organisation.

“In H&R, we have found our ideal partner for the future of STOCK & STEIN and TREKFINDER. H&R has been producing suspension solutions for TREKFINDER for over 20 years and therefore knows the brand, the products and the requirements of the off-road segment through our long-standing collaboration. For me, H&R was therefore the best solution for the long-term development and international expansion of TREKFINDER. At the same time, it was important to me to arrange the company succession early and responsibly,” explains Henrik Schmidt, founder of STOCK & STEIN GmbH.

“The acquisition of STOCK & STEIN represents a strategic move for us to systematically expand our portfolio in the growing off-road and adventure segment. By combining our engineering and homologation expertise with STOCK & STEIN’s many years of off-road experience, we are laying the foundations for innovative adventure products with international potential – in both the B2B and B2C sectors.” – says Yannick C. Remmen, Managing Director at H&R.

With this acquisition, H&R is setting the course for further expansion in the off-road accessories sector whilst simultaneously strengthening the TREKFINDER brand as a specialist supplier of high-quality products for off-road vehicles, travel and adventure vehicles.
