Camso

What Camso does

Camso designs, manufactures, and distributes off-the-road tires, wheels, rubber tracks, and track systems for four end markets: material handling, construction, agriculture, and powersports. The product portfolio includes proprietary systems such as Conversion Track Systems (CTS) for converting wheeled agricultural vehicles to tracked configurations, Trailed Track Systems (TTS), solid press-on and resilient tires for forklifts and warehouse equipment, industrial pneumatic bias tires, ATV/UTV track systems (including the CAMSO UTV 4S1, X4S, ATV T4S, and UTV ENDUR), a catalog of 170+ snowmobile track models across mountain, trail, cross-country, racing, and utility segments, and the DTS129 snowbike conversion system. Underlying technology centers on proprietary rubber compounds, Flex-Track design, and vehicle-fitment engineering developed over more than 40 years in the rubber track industry.

Camso operates a dual-channel go-to-market that combines OEM specification relationships with a global aftermarket distribution network. Products are specified by leading OEMs in material handling, agricultural (e.g., John Deere's 9RX tractor), and construction equipment, while replacement wheels, remanufactured tracks, and consumables flow through authorized dealers and the Solideal on-site service for material handling customers. The powersports division additionally runs a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront at powersports.camso.co for North American consumers of ATV/UTV and snowmobile track systems. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales across both channels, with B2B pricing quote-based via the dealer network and consumer pricing posted for powersports SKUs.

Camso was founded in 1982 and is headquartered in Magog, Quebec, Canada, with additional operational presence in Shawinigan, Canada, and global reach across North America, Europe, Latin America, and other markets. The company was previously owned by the Michelin Group and was acquired by India's CEAT Ltd for approximately USD 225 million in FY26, becoming a privately held subsidiary within CEAT's specialty off-highway tire portfolio. The company employs 5,001–10,000 people and operates multiple sub-brands (Camso Construction, Camso Powersports, Solideal, Camoplast) serving a diversified customer mix of OEMs, dealers, and individual enthusiasts.
