Zuid West Banden

What Zuid West Banden does

Zuid West Banden is a Dutch tire specialist founded in 1987 and headquartered in Klaaswaal, Netherlands, operating three locations (Klaaswaal, Noordwijkerhout, Kapelle) and five mobile workshops providing 24/7 breakdown service across the Randstad, Zeeland, West-Brabant, Noord-Holland, and parts of Belgium. The company supplies, installs, and maintains tires for agricultural, construction, industrial, commercial truck, and passenger vehicles, with the agricultural and OEM/first-assembly segments as primary verticals. It holds exclusive Benelux import rights for the Alliance and Galaxy tire brands (Yokohama Off-Highway Tires), Goodyear Farm Tires and Titan, and Canadian-made AgriBrink tire pressure change systems, while also serving as dealer for premium brands including Michelin, Bridgestone, Vredestein, Trelleborg, Nokian, Mitas, and BKT.

The company's proprietary technology offerings center on central tire inflation systems (CTIS): FloatControl, a compact in-cab pressure system for agricultural machinery aimed at preventing soil compaction, and AgriBrink, a faster-cycle hydraulic compressor system compatible with Isobus tractor controls. With over 8,000 m2 of warehouse capacity and 200+ AgriBrink systems installed since 2021, Zuid West Banden combines a physical inventory moat with engineering-led product distribution. The company also provides OEM first-assembly services including logistics, warehousing, JIT delivery, and homologation support for manufacturers (from 100 machines/year) and dealers (from 1 machine/year), alongside custom wheel manufacturing via an in-house welding workshop.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: one-time tire sales across multiple brands and categories (agriculture, construction, industrial, truck, passenger), professional services including workshop fitting, mounting, alignment, and 24/7 mobile breakdown response, and hardware sales of CTIS products (FloatControl and AgriBrink systems). Pricing is quote-based with no public price list. The go-to-market is sales-led through direct physical workshops, mobile service vans, and a regional e-commerce webshop, complemented by channel partners (Van der Sluis Mechanisatie, Troost & Van Gurp) for AgriBrink distribution. The company is privately held and led by directors Jaap Vollaard and Marius Dorst.
