Yokohama-ATG and Bohnenkamp SE commemorated 50 years of collaboration at a ceremony in Osnabrück, Germany, coinciding with Bohnenkamp’s 75th anniversary. The event highlighted the enduring relationship between one of Europe’s leading agri and industrial tyre distributors and a globally recognised off-highway tyre brand.
Executives from both companies, including Masataka Yamaishi, Chairman & CEO of Yokohama Rubber Co., and Gregor Ruth, CEO of Bohnenkamp SE, attended the event. The gathering acknowledged the companies' shared achievements in supporting farmers and industrial sectors with durable, high-performance tyre solutions.
The partnership began in the 1970s and has grown through mutual trust and technical progress. Today, it supports a wide European customer base with products designed to improve agricultural productivity and sustainability.
Bohnenkamp’s distribution expertise combined with Alliance’s off-highway tyre technology has enabled the rollout of tyres that address key industry needs such as soil protection and operational efficiency. The relationship continues to play a role in enhancing tyre availability and technical support across Europe.
The celebration also coincides with Alliance's broader 70th anniversary campaign, underlining the brand’s long-standing dedication to the agricultural sector. The dual anniversaries reflect how consistent collaboration between manufacturer and distributor can shape tyre market dynamics over time.
This 50-year partnership exemplifies the value of long-term distributor-manufacturer collaboration in the agricultural tyre sector. As farm machinery becomes more advanced and demands on tyre performance increase, sustained relationships like that between Alliance and Bohnenkamp are crucial in delivering evolving product solutions. It also reflects a wider trend of consolidating supply chains to enhance market resilience and service quality across Europe.
