What Maxxis Tyres does

Maxxis Tyres is a global tire manufacturer founded in 1967 in Taiwan, producing tires for automotive, motorcycle, and bicycle applications across 180+ countries. The company operates five manufacturing facilities in Taiwan, China, Thailand, Vietnam, and India, employs more than 30,000 people, and runs five global R&D centers anchored by a €150 million tire testing facility. Its European headquarters, Maxxis Europe B.V., is based in Uden, Netherlands, with European distribution centers in Germany, Italy, France, the UK, and the Netherlands. The company sells through two channels: original equipment (OEM) supply to more than 25 named vehicle and bicycle manufacturers, and aftermarket replacement sales via authorized dealer networks in Europe. Major OEM partners include BMW, MINI, Volkswagen, Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Hyundai, Mazda, GM, Yamaha, Kawasaki, KTM, BMW Motorrad, Piaggio, Aprilia, Canyon, Giant, and Scott. The product portfolio spans passenger car tires (Premitra, Victra, Mecotra series), EV-specific tires (Victra Sport EV+), off-road and light truck tires (Razr, Bighorn, Trepador, Wormdrive), motorcycle tires across road, adventure, enduro, motocross, and scooter segments, and bicycle tires covering road, gravel, mountain bike disciplines, BMX, cargo, and urban use. Technology differentiation rests on proprietary rubber compound systems (3C Triple Compound, MaxxGrip, MaxxTerra, SilkShield, EXO/EXO+ protection, DoubleDown casing, Full-Silica compound, Tubeless Ready) co-developed with elite sponsored athletes across MTB, motocross, enduro, and rally disciplines. The business operates under a hardware sales model with dealer-determined, quote-based pricing, no public price list, and promotional cashback campaigns in select European markets. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the company is privately held under the broader Maxxis Group, with Maxxis Europe B.V. managed by Managing Directors Tsung-Wei Lee and Yun-Hwa Chen.
