Pateer Group

What Pateer Group does

Pateer Group is a Dutch-headquartered, family-owned manufacturer of accessories and equipment for agricultural and industrial machinery, founded in 1920 by Leo Pateer and now in its fourth generation of family ownership under director Jack Pateer. The company designs and produces counterweights (in cast iron, steel, concrete, magnetite, and an innovative rotomolded polyethylene shell range), towing hooks, automatic pick-up hitches, couplings, mudguards, bumpers, storage compartments and stabilizers, with operations in Sint Jansteen (Netherlands), Bruz (France — production, logistics, and Experience Center), China (foundry), India (castings JV), Ukraine, and regional sales offices across Europe.

The business operates a B2B OEM-embedded model, supplying directly to the factory lines of every major European tractor OEM — New Holland, Case IH, Massey Ferguson, Fendt, Valtra, Deutz-Fahr, John Deere, Kubota, KIOTI, and Manitou — for original fitting, alongside an aftermarket channel distributing through brand dealers across Europe, Canada, and Japan. Manufacturing is vertically integrated across multiple material technologies, and proprietary product features (polyethylene-coated concrete RT range, magnetite-density FP-BLL-HDC, patented German-made SX3 lynch pins, Tractor-Bumper movable-fin system) differentiate the offering.

Revenue and pricing are not publicly disclosed; the company is privately held with no external institutional investment or listing. Pateer monetizes via hardware sales to OEMs and dealers, supported by trade show participation (Agritechnica, SPACE, SOMMET, FIMA), a dedicated Experience Center for customer engagement, and regional importer/distributor coverage in Iberia, UK/Ireland, Eastern Europe, and Italy.
