History

Since 1954 with passion and dedication

A story of passion

ADR was born in a small place in Uboldo, in the beating heart of Lombardy, Italy, where Giovanni and Antonia embarked on a remarkable venture, by starting a humble turning shop. It was 1954. In the wake of a war-ravaged nation, amidst the hardships of the post-war era, their story unfolded. These were the times of hard-working men and women, together building the bright future.
ADR's journey to success has been fuelled by an unwavering passion that burns within its core. From its inception, ADR's founders were driven by a deep-seated belief in their vision, constantly pushing the boundaries of what was possible. This passion has been the driving force behind their relentless pursuit of excellence, guiding them through challenges and inspiring others to join their cause.

Worldwide branches offering quality

A network seeking a community.

The ADR group operates as a network of companies, spearheaded by its headquarters in Uboldo.
With a workforce exceeding 1500 skilled individuals, our objective is to find improvements in everything we do. This journey is arduous, often demanding, yet the rewards it yields are immeasurable.
Our expansion in the world has gone through important stages. We acquired Colaert Essieux in France in 1990, which was a great stride towards internationalization. Subsequently, we have established a notable presence in diverse regions, including the establishment of ADR UK (formerly Tyremart), the inauguration of ATW offices in Poland, or acquisition of Geplasmetal in Spain. At present, our manufacturing and commercial branches span across China, Canada, Brazil, and more, ensuring the delivery of unparalleled quality services across the globe.
One might even venture, with a touch of audacity, to claim that "the sun never sets on the ADR group."
