About Hennessy Industries
With facilities in the U.S., Canada and abroad, Hennessy Industries is one of the world’s foremost aftermarket manufacturers of wheel-service equipment. Hennessy designs, builds and markets equipment, accessories and consumables under three renowned brand names: AMMCO®, Coats® and BADA®.
About Our Brands
Hennessy’s four distinguished brands are built upon decades of experience, market perspective and innovative engineering. Wheel-service professionals worldwide trust the Hennessy brands because of their combination of longevity and cutting-edge improvements.
AMMCO® has been manufacturing brake lathes since 1922, and over the last 60 years it has sold more than a quarter of a million lathes, many of which are still in operation.
In 1947, Gil Coats first designed a wheel holder for changing tractor tires in his farm-implement business. His invention quickly evolved into the world’s first semi-automatic tire changer, and it launched one of the most respected and recognizable brands in the tire-service equipment industry. Today, Coats® tire changers and wheel balancers continue to pay tribute to their heritage while providing tire dealers with cutting-edge yet practical equipment design solutions to modern-day application challenges.
More recently, Hennessy introduced the BaseLine® line of tire changers and wheel balancers. BaseLine® offers low volume shops an affordable way to offer dependable tire changing and wheel balancing services.
For more than 50 years, BADA® has provided one of the most comprehensive selections of wheel weights in the world, and it is now leading the transition from lead weights to the most environmentally friendly alternative – steel.
Hennessy constantly solicits feedback from customers to understand their unique needs and challenges. This open dialogue allows us to continually refine our existing products as well as develop new tools and equipment to meet the demands of a changing marketplace.
