Lintexon OÜ

What Lintexon OÜ does

Lintexon OÜ is a privately held, family-owned Estonian manufacturer and distributor of forestry machine tracks, tire protection chains, and related accessories, headquartered in Võru, Estonia. Founded in 2013 by Arli Lepp after 15 years in the forestry industry, the company produces the proprietary Lintexon Tracks™ brand — 17 distinct models including ultra-flotation variants (Mega-200, Mega-150) for wetlands, climbing bands (Active, Activ-X, Mountain) for steep slopes, and light-machine tracks (Excavator XS, Proman XS). Core technology includes the registered HAGGIS LINK track-link system featuring matched bearing surfaces and maximum contact area design intended to reduce wear, downtime, and link twisting. Manufacturing is concentrated in Võru, where the company has invested in production capacity with support from a €55,117.54 EU Cohesion Policy grant (project 2021-2027.1.03.25-1312).

Since June 2023, Lintexon has been the official distributor of Clark Tracks™ and OFA products (both Nordic Traction Group brands) in the Baltic region, and the officially recognized refurbisher of Clark Tracks spare parts across the Baltic States and Nordic countries. The company sells through direct sales (Managing Director Arli Lepp and Sales Assistant Magda Lepp) and a network of authorized resellers in Estonia, Finland, Lithuania, the USA, and the Czech Republic. Revenue streams comprise hardware sales of Lintexon-branded tracks, distributed Clark Tracks and OFA chains, accessories and spare parts, plus professional refurbishment services. End customers are operators in forestry (forwarders, harvesters, skidders), agriculture, construction, military, and long-distance trucking — predominantly SMB and owner-operator segments rather than named enterprise accounts. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is delivered via a quote-based system on the multilingual (five-language) website.

Core offering

Lintexon OÜ designs and manufactures its own brand of forestry machine tracks (Lintexon Tracks™) and acts as the official distributor of Clark Tracks™ and OFA tire chains in the Baltic region. The company supplies tracks and chains for forestry, agricultural, construction, and military heavy machinery across multiple terrains, and offers official track refurbishment services using original Clark Track parts.

Product overview

Lintexon OÜ is a forestry equipment company offering three distinct product lines: (1) its own Lintexon Tracks™ brand — 17 models of forestry tracks made in Estonia for heavy, medium, and light forest machines, ranging from the ultra-flotation Mega-200 for swamps to compact Excavator XS; (2) Clark Tracks™ — a full-range brand of forestry chains distributed as official dealer, including TXL, Flotec, ATF, TXCL, TXGL, Grouzer, Terra 85, Terra 95, FXS, and Arctic models; and (3) OFA Chains — tire traction chains from Nordic Traction Group (Finland) covering forestry, tractor/snow, truck, and light-weight applications. The company also provides official refurbishment services for Clark Tracks parts across the Baltic States and Nordic countries, and sells a wide range of accessories including joining links, tensioning tools, spikes, and OFA-specific tools. The portfolio is structured around physical goods (tracks and chains) for forestry, agricultural, and construction machines — not a software platform.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Mattracks: US-based manufacturer of rubber track conversion systems for off-road, agricultural, and light-forestry applications. Comparable in track-system focus but oriented toward conversion kits rather than OEM forestry track design.

Broad incumbents

• RUD Ketten Rieger & Dietz: German manufacturer of tire protection chains and traction systems for off-road, forestry, and industrial vehicles. Overlaps with Lintexon's OFA chain portfolio but operates globally with a much broader product range.
• Camso (Michelin): Specialist in off-the-road tracks and tires, now part of Michelin's Specialty business. Competes with Lintexon in agricultural and construction track systems, but at significantly larger scale and with broader end-market reach.
• Trelleborg Wheel Systems: Large tier-1 manufacturer of tires and tracks for agricultural and forestry machines. A broader incumbent whose forestry-track portfolio overlaps with Lintexon's own-brand line but is part of a much larger industrial offering.
• Ponsse: Finnish cut-to-length forestry machine manufacturer and a Lintexon partner. Comparable as a forestry-machines incumbent and key customer, with potential overlap in track and chain specification/aftermarket supply.
• John Deere (Forestry / aftermarket): Global forestry equipment OEM and major buyer of aftermarket track/chain components. Comparable both as a Lintexon end-customer (referenced as a partner) and as a broader incumbent with vertically integrated parts supply.

Direct peers

• Nordic Traction OY: Finnish manufacturer of Clark Tracks and OFA chains and Lintexon's principal supplier/partner. Directly competes in forestry tracks and tire chains, and its distribution strategy is the single biggest variable in Lintexon's product and service mix.
• Soucy International: Canadian manufacturer of rubber and steel track systems for agriculture, forestry, and military applications. Directly comparable to Lintexon in track design, terrain specialization, and forestry/agriculture customer overlap.
• Pewag: Austrian manufacturer of tire chains and traction products for forestry, agriculture, trucks, and construction — directly comparable to Lintexon's OFA chain distribution business across the same end-customer segments.
• Zuidberg Tracks & Parts: Dutch manufacturer of track systems and undercarriage parts for agricultural and forestry machines. Directly comparable in product focus (forestry/agricultural tracks) and European customer base, particularly in the Benelux and German markets.
