Agrigear was delighted to join the BKT team at The Tire Cologne 2026, one of the world's leading trade exhibitions for the tyre and wheel industry. Held in Cologne, Germany, the event brought together manufacturers, distributors, industry professionals, and technology innovators from across the globe to showcase the latest developments in tyre technology and off-highway solutions.

 

 

Representing Agrigear at the exhibition were Founder & Managing Director Fred Clarke, General Manager Gerald McAdam, Damien Galligan, Barry Hanlon and Ronnie Coleman, who attended the event alongside the BKT team. The exhibition provided an excellent opportunity to meet with BKT representatives from across Europe and other international markets, discuss industry developments, strengthen existing relationships, and gain valuable insights into future product innovations and market trends.

BKT's stand featured a broad selection of products designed for agriculture, industrial, earthmoving, forestry, and material handling applications. Among the highlights were the new EARTHMAX SR 30 M, SKID MAX SR 720, and MAGLIFT PLUS tyres, developed to meet the demanding requirements of construction, industrial, and specialised applications. Visitors also had the opportunity to learn more about established products such as AGRIMAX V-FLECTO, AGRIMAX PROCROP, RIDEMAX FROST, PORTMAX PM 93 PLUS, and FORESTMAX.

 

 

The exhibition reinforced BKT's continued commitment to innovation, performance, and application-specific tyre solutions. It also provided a valuable platform for direct engagement with customers and partners while showcasing technologies designed to improve efficiency, reliability, and productivity across multiple industries.
