Outdoor & Utility

A reliable tire and wheel partner to Europe's leading industrial and utility manufacturers

For over 60 years, we have been supplying tire and wheel solutions to OEMs. From compact utility vehicles and professional groundcare equipment to site dumpers and wheel loaders, we engineer, manufacture and supply tire and wheel solutions for markets across Europe.  

We hold a market-leading position in site dumpers and are the inventor and manufacturer of patented puncture-proof tire technology for light transportation applications. Across all our product categories, we offer both validated standard fitments and fully bespoke wheel assemblies engineered to your platform requirements.

Trusted by our OEM partners across Europe

We supply OEM manufacturers across the Industrial, Utility & Groundcare and Light Transportation sectors. What sets us apart is our long-term partnership approach rooted in dialogue and excellent service levels. Our OEM partners include some of Europe’s most recognised equipment manufacturers. 

How we work with OEMs

No two partnerships look the same. Some of our partners fit validated standard products from our range. Others work with us from early platform specification through to production sign-off, developing bespoke tire and wheel assemblies built around their machine architecture, load requirements and homologation needs.

What stays consistent is how we engage: primarily as a strong supplier who takes responsibility for the complete tire and wheel solution, with application engineering support, European compliance documentation, and a supply chain structured for series production.

Why OEMs partner with KENDA Europe

We engineer and manufacture both tires and complete wheel assemblies under one roof. For OEM partners, that means guaranteed compatibility, a single point of accountability, and the flexibility to develop platform-specific solutions without managing multiple suppliers.

From our patented puncture-proof PU tires to our Technical Centre in Germany, we invest continuously in solutions that keep our OEM partners ahead of performance requirements and European regulations. 

With six distribution sites across Europe, we are structured to support OEM production schedules. We can adapt to volume changes and maintain supply continuity across key European manufacturing markets.

Our engineers work with OEM teams at the level your project requires; from standard fitment validation through to full co-development. Our Technical Centre in Germany handles European standards compliance, testing and documentation throughout.

Our approach is rooted in partnership beyond the product, and we value long-term relationships built on high service levels and trust. With 9 European customer care locations, you always have advice, collaboration and proactive solutions right at hand.

Once we started talking with KENDA, it was an easy decision to make

For two decades, Thwaites has fitted their market-leading site dumpers with tires supplied by KENDA. 

The long-standing partnership is built on three essentials: high-performing dumper tires that match the quality of Thwaites’ machines, close engineering collaboration that supports innovation, and a reliable supply chain that keeps production moving.

Get in touch whatever stage you're at — exploring options, reviewing a current setup, or getting serious about a new platform. We work with manufacturers at every stage of the process, and we're at our best when we get involved early.
