News all around BGP

Regensburg, August 2025 – the BGP-Blazevic GmbH & Co. KG, a reliable partner for high-quality linear technology solutions since 2010, is opening a new chapter: on September 1st, 2025, Simon Blazevic assumed the management of the family business from his father and company founder, Stephan Blazevic.

What began as a specialist and wholesaler for selected quality products in the field of linear technology has evolved into an innovative provider with in-house product development for precision linear stages. Since 2019, proprietary products have been developed in Regensburg and the portfolio of solutions is continually expanding. The bearing technology sector has also been enlarged recently, and this expansion will be driven forward alongside the management change.

Simon Blazevic returns to the family company with a familiar face: from 2016 to 2019, he spent two years in field sales and later took over as head of sales. Over the past five and a half years, he gained additional sales experience at the Swiss family-owned BOSSARD Group, first as a Technical Field Consultant and later as a Business Development Manager in the machinery and commercial vehicle sector.

“I am very pleased to be part of our family business again and to walk tried-and-tested paths with our customers and partners while forging new ones,” said Simon Blazevic. “Our biggest challenges in the coming years will certainly be digitalization as well as recruiting, onboarding, and establishing capable and proactive colleagues for our small, friendly team. In the long term, we aim to position ourselves as a certified Schneeberger partner and become a solid presence in the market and I am glad we will shape this new path together from the start.”

Stephan Blazevic will continue to support company leadership as a managing partner during the initial transition. However, in the coming years, he will primarily focus once again on sales more than ever since founding the company.

“What has always given me the greatest joy is sales and on-site consulting to my customers. As a founder of course it is gratifying when the next generation is passionate about the family business. But I’m equally pleased that I can now concentrate fully on expanding sales until a successor for the field sales role in the Bavaria region is appointed.”

Long-standing partners of BGP - such as Schneeberger - can look forward to both, continuity and fresh perspectives with this transition. As a certified contractual partner, BGP remains a reliable point of contact for high-quality components and tailored system solutions.

With this generational change, BGP sends a clear signal: experience meets innovation, family values meet future vision. For customers, suppliers, and the market, it all adds up to one thing - new impulses for proven precision.

We are pleased to inform you that since the beginning of the month our new employee,

Mr Ulrich Listl, will be expanding the roller bearing division at BGP!

He has been a renowned expert in the field of rolling bearings for more than 35 years.

Mr Listl has a very broad, well-founded understanding of rolling bearing products

and customer requirements in the rolling bearing sector.

In his function as managing partner of PIH Wälzlager GmbH

he has made a name for himself throughout Germany over the last 12 years as a specialist for rolling bearings.

As product manager, Mr Listl has a very broad area of responsibility:

He is focussing on expanding the strategic product portfolio,

to effectively market our rolling bearing products.

This includes analysing the market, identifying customer needs and working with suppliers and

liaising with suppliers and customers to coordinate the supply chain.

He is also responsible for managing the entire product life cycle

from the introduction of new products to the phasing out of obsolete models.

He will continue to maintain strong, close relationships with our bearing customers and distribution partners,

to obtain feedback, understand customer needs and build and develop the best customer relationships.

Mr Listl also monitors the quality of the bearings produced and works closely with the QA team,

to ensure that all products meet quality standards.

He also identifies opportunities to continuously improve quality.

"We are convinced that Mr Listl will be an asset to our team."

Last week on 9 February 2024, Mr Walter Lenk and Mr Andreas Himly presented the partner certificate to Mr Stipo (Stephan) Blazevic (Managing Director of BGP-Blazevic GmbH & Co KG).

We are the third company in the SCHNEEBERGER Global Channel Partner Programme to receive this partner certificate.

Many thanks to SCHNEEBERGER for this recognition.

This partnership symbolises our shared commitment to innovation and quality.

We look forward to the future of this partnership and are confident that the strength and potential of our joint efforts will continue.
