Founded over 70 years ago as a small artisan turning workshop, the company has grown into a globally significant group capable of offering agricultural and industrial machinery manufacturers complete solutions through complementary and synergistic products
The origins of today’s Adr Group date back to 1954 and to a subcontract turning workshop located in Uboldo, in the province of Varese, Italy. From its beginnings to the present day, Adr has continuously evolved alongside the market, expanding from a national presence to a European and international dimension, while consistently maintaining a strong focus on quality, innovation, and customer support.
Thanks to this approach, Adr Group has become one of the world’s leading players in the production and distribution of components for agricultural and industrial machinery, with plants and subsidiaries in Europe, America, and Asia, and a commercial network spanning all continents.
This steady growth is based on three fundamental pillars: passion for the job, product quality, and continuous research into new and innovative technical solutions aimed at delivering complementary and synergistic products. Axles, suspensions, braking systems, wheels, and dedicated accessories are available both as individual components and as fully integrated packages. The latter simplify supply management and improve customers’ operational efficiency.
From axles to braking systems, including the most diverse types of suspensions and steering systems, ADR Group is now able to meet virtually any requirement from agricultural and industrial machinery manufacturers—ranging from the supply of individual components to complete undercarriages.
Within this product integration strategy also lies the recent strengthening of services related to tires, rims, and complete wheels. Building on decades of experience gained through its ADR Geplasmetal division in Spain and Adr UK in England, the Group has further expanded globally by offering implement tires branded “VK Tyre,” “TBR” (Truck and Bus Radial Tyres) under the Westlake Tyre brand, and flotation tires under the Tianli Tyre brand.
It should be noted that Tianli Tyre and Westlake Tyre belong to the Chinese group Zhongce Rubber Group, the world’s eighth-largest tire manufacturer. Adr Group already operates more than 20,000 square meters of warehouses and offices dedicated to stock management and assembly activities. These operations are carried out using state-of-the-art technologies, enabling rapid and effective responses to market demands.
As with all Adr products, every tire undergoes rigorous quality controls and is covered by warranties ranging from three to five years, depending on the product category.
