Bartec is celebrating the milestone of 25 years as a true innovator in the field of tyre pressure monitoring systems.
It was early August 1998 that Bartec first got the call to design and supply the first TPMS antenna system for Renault Motors in Sandouville, France. The successful delivery of that system lead to orders for eight additional Renault plants and further orders for Ford, GM and Chrysler in North America as TPMS was introduced there and eventually legislated as compulsory on new cars. Since then, the company has installed over 220 plant systems worldwide.
In 2005 Bartec USA was formed to support customers in North America and supply TPMS repair tools to the growing number of aftermarket customers. Roll forward to today and the company has supplied over 210,000 TPMS tyre shop tools to North America and over 35,000 into Europe.
These advanced tools diagnose TPMS faults, enable repairs and turn off the warning light. The tools are able to receive software and coverage updates over WiFi enabling the technician to repair even the latest vehicles.
Bartec OE customers include Ford, Chrysler, GM, Mitsubishi, Renault, Volvo, Nissan, Subaru, Isuzu, Land Rover, Jaguar, Honda, Hyundai, Toyota, Kia, BMW, Mercedes and wheel manufacturers and assemblers across the world.
Bartec recently launched its new Particle Counter for measuring tailpipe carbon particle emissions and is already supplying into the Swiss and German markets to meet the new EU legislation there.
