What grass village does

Grasdorf GmbH, headquartered in Holle (Lower Saxony) with manufacturing in Groitzsch and Klipphausen near Dresden, is a privately held German manufacturer of specialty wheels for tractors, combine harvesters, construction machinery, mobile cranes, and special vehicles, founded in 1981 and employing 51–100 people. The company positions itself as one of Europe's largest manufacturers in this niche, with an installed base of proprietary Grasdorf Rad product variants (Standard, Torque, Care, Special, System, High-Speed, Multipart, and Flotation) and a 2022 Innovationspreis Moderne Landwirtschaft-winning Flexi-Flügel-Rad soil-protection system developed with TU Dresden.

Operations combine in-house wheel fabrication (CNC milling, plasma cutting, turning, rolling, welding, drilling, shot blasting, grinding) with multi-brand tire distribution (Michelin, CEAT, GRI, Taurus, Galaxy, Kleber, Petlas, Bandenmarkt/Delcora, and others), allowing the company to deliver turnkey complete wheel assemblies and aftermarket services such as the AIRBOOSTER PLUS tire-pressure regulation system. Custom-engineered wheels support material thicknesses of 12–22mm and offsets up to 220mm, with paint in any RAL color at OEM quality.

Go-to-market is sales-led via regional field-service representatives covering German postal-code territories, augmented by a direct webshop (grasdorf-rad.shop), OEM supply into agricultural machinery manufacturers, and—post January 2025 acquisition by Pneuhage Management GmbH & Co. KG—access to Pneuhage's 160+ tire service locations, 260+ First Stop partners, and 700+ Reifen1+ partners. The customer base spans agriculture (primary), construction and earthmoving, mobile cranes and special vehicles, forestry, and port terminal operators. The company emerged from insolvency in early 2025 under new ownership and is being integrated into Pneuhage, with Grasdorf Rad GmbH planned to be merged into Grasdorf GmbH during 2025.
