Tyres Claerhout
Family business since the 1970s
Banden Claerhout is a family business founded in the early 1970s by the late Luc Claerhout and Marie Therese Verbrugghe. From the beginning, the company was known for quality and passion for cars.
The Pioneer: Luc Claerhout
Luc Claerhout was a real pioneer in Flanders. He specialised in equipping cars with the perfect combination of tyres and rims. This way, he gave every car a sporty look and improved its performance on the road. His greatest passion was rallying, in which he achieved numerous top results. Thanks to his reputation, customers from all over Belgium and even abroad came to Banden Claerhout.
Growth and expansion
In 1982, the business moved to Avelgem to accommodate further growth. In the early 1990s, the eldest son, the late Dieter Claerhout, joined the family business, followed by his brother Jochen Claerhout.
Current Leadership and Affiliates
Jochen Claerhout has been the current manager since 1999. Under his leadership, Banden Claerhout opened a second branch in Olsene (Zulte). This allows us to serve our clients even better, with two locations spread across the region.
Avelgem branch
The main office in Avelgem is headed by Christophe Deweerdt.
Olsene branch (Zulte)
Our second branch, located in Olsene, Zulte, is managed by Maxim Mantini.
