Greenball

What Greenball does

Greenball Corporation is a privately held specialty tire manufacturer and distributor founded in 1976 and headquartered in Anaheim, California, with a primary distribution facility in Fontana. The company designs, sources, and distributes tires across six application categories—trailer, light truck, mobile home, lawn and garden, golf cart, and ATV/UTV—through four trademarks: Greenball (house brand), Tow-Master/Transmaster (trailer), Centennial (value-tier), Kanati (light truck/SUV/off-road), and the wholly-owned GBC Motorsports subsidiary (powersports performance).

The product portfolio covers roughly 50 SKUs spanning bias and radial constructions, 6- to 12-ply ratings, and specialty technologies such as all-steel trailer construction, asymmetrical non-directional UTV tread patterns, and three-peak mountain snowflake winter certification. GBC Motorsports anchors the higher-margin performance segment via racing-led product development, including the 25-year-old GNCC sponsorship program, the GBC Bucks contingency program across WORCS/AWRCS/MWXC/GNCC, and OEM fitments with Polaris (Kanati Mongrel on the RZR XP 1000) and Yamaha (Terra Master SQ on the Wolverine RMAX2 1000 Sport).

Greenball generates revenue primarily through hardware sales of MSRP-priced tires ranging from approximately $86 to $280+ per tire, distributed via a U.S. dealer network (interactive dealer locator), direct e-commerce, a wholesale catalog program, and OEM channels. Customer service runs 5:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. PST Monday-Friday from the Anaheim HQ. The company has no disclosed outside funding, no acquisitions, and operates exclusively in North America.
