Vredestein represents one of the world's oldest tire manufacturers with over 110 years of distinguished heritage, originally founded in the Netherlands in 1909 by Emile Louis Constant Schiff as N.V. Rubberfabriek Vredestein. Beginning with their first bicycle tire in 1910, this historic Dutch tire brand has evolved into a globally recognized premium tire manufacturer, now operating as Apollo Vredestein B.V. following its acquisition by India's Apollo Tyres in 2009, combining European craftsmanship with international manufacturing capabilities.
The comprehensive Vredestein product portfolio encompasses premium passenger car tires, SUV tires, van tires, light truck tires, agricultural tires, industrial tires, and bicycle tires designed with distinctive European engineering excellence. Their tire designs are developed in collaboration with renowned Italian design house Giugiaro Design, ensuring exceptional performance, sophisticated aesthetics, and superior handling characteristics. From ultra-high-performance tires to all-season applications, Vredestein delivers advanced tire technology including innovative tread compounds, precision manufacturing, and cutting-edge construction techniques.
Vredestein's manufacturing excellence spans their historic production facility in Enschede, Netherlands, operating since 1952, complemented by their modern plant in Gyöngyöshalász, Hungary, opened in 2017. This dual-facility approach enables increased production capacity while maintaining the traditional Dutch craftsmanship and quality standards that have defined the Vredestein brand for over a century. Their engineering expertise focuses on delivering exceptional wet and dry performance, enhanced comfort, reduced rolling resistance, and extended tire life.
With headquarters in Amsterdam and distribution throughout Europe and North America, Vredestein maintains its distinctly European character while leveraging Apollo Tyres' global reach and resources. This unique combination of historic Dutch tire heritage, Italian design sophistication, and international manufacturing capabilities has established Vredestein as the preferred choice for discerning drivers seeking premium tire solutions that deliver exceptional performance, reliability, and European craftsmanship for their passenger cars, SUVs, and specialty vehicles.
