By looking at the shared history of Bohnenkamp and BKT, a lot can be revealed about our own development, our reliability towards customers and partners, and our continually fresh ideas for a successful, partnership-based future. We spoke with our Chairman of the Board Gregor Rüth and the Head of Overall Sales Thomas Pott about the previous, very dynamic years and future perspectives.

The Indian tyre manufacturer BKT has grown significantly over the past ten years. The company with headquarters in Mumbai, India, has opened two production facilities as well as its own industrial waste production plant. The expansion of production capacity and the growth-promoting investments in research and development have positioned BKT well to serve the sectors OTR, agriculture and industry worldwide with tyres. We spoke to BKT Chairman Arvind Poddar during the anniversary celebrations.

BKT brand tyres have been part of our company's standard product range for 25 years. We celebrated the partnership that has connected us ever since with a joint event in Osnabrück to mark the anniversary. Time to look back - and set the course for the future.

On 18th June 2023, the Bohnenkamp AG Family & Friends Day took place to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the partnership with the tyre manufacturer BKT. The event promised a varied programme for all age groups.

At the end of March, the annual meeting between Bohnenkamp and BKT took place – for the first time on this occasion at the COREUM. The multi-day encounter in the exhibition and event centre for construction machinery was extremely productive.

On the occasion of the site expansion in Bhuj, India, the OTR tyre manufacturer BKT announced a comprehensive growth plan. In three years, an annual production volume of 600,000 tonnes and a turnover of two billion dollars are expected to be reached. A modernised production of carbon black, a significantly expanded tyre mould manufacturing, new products such as rubber tracks and a further expansion of the brand's own power plant support the brand expansion plans.

Whether on the football pitch, golf course, green belt or parklands – wherever grass grows in top condition, lawn mowers and other lawn care machines should drive on special lawn tyres. However, not every type of lawn tread is suitable for every application. For maximum lawn protection, it's worth taking a closer look at the main use and type of use – and at the lawn tyre range from Bohnenkamp AG.

In early February, a delegation from Bohnenkamp AG visited the significantly expanded Bhuj production site of tyre manufacturer BKT in India.

From February, the newly developed EM 933 Super excavator tyre will be available from Bohnenkamp. The tread was presented at the latest Bauma trade fair. Now the comfortable and high-traction tyre in size 290/90 - 20 is entering the wholesale range.

Available now from Bohnenkamp is the BKT RIDEMAX FL 615, a modern, versatile tyre for towed vehicles such as slurry tankers, spreaders and trailers. However, the tread can also show its strengths on driven harvesters.
