A Legacy of Innovation, Crafted for Every Ride

Hartex: Ride Limitless, Explore Boundless - Your Trusted Partner on Every Journey

The spirit of exploration has always been ingrained in Hartex. Our story began in 1961, not with the roar of an engine, but with the quiet hum of a machine in India. It was there, in a small unit dedicated to the production of Jointed Tubes, that Kemrub Pvt. Ltd., the seed of Hartex, was born. This pioneering spirit has been the driving force behind our journey, propelling us from a single unit to a global leader in bicycle tires and tubes.

The heart and soul of Hartex lies in our people. We foster a work environment that values
