Our heritage

In 1925, at age 21, Victor du Quesne started up a tyre changing-centre in Belgium with the help of his father Charles. He was soon confronted by the difficulties of mounting and dismounting tyres and the need for specialised tools soon became apparent. He developed the first tyre changer to make his employees' work easier. And as early as 1929, they started the production of the revolutionary machine that soon was exported worldwide.
Since then, DU QUESNE machines have constantly evolved in order to achieve the very essence of what a tyre changer should be: a versatile, fast, safe and an easy-to-use tool which can be relied on for a long time!
