It is almost sixty years since Vellco commenced trading but in the following decades the company has fine tuned its services in accordance with changing demands and is currently the market leader in professional used tyre management throughout the UK.

During the past two years Vellco has made a number of significant investments in both its collection fleet of vehicles and busy call centre facilities at the Weaverthorpe headquarter base and also gained a further three year 14001 Environment Accreditation.

This prestigious trade standard is a respected recognition of environmental standards and processes and provides a true reflection of dedication by Vellco towards best work practice in used tyre collection procedures.

A good mixture of both PCR and TBR casings are collected daily and the recent expansion to the call centre enables the Vellco sales staff to ensure a rapid response to all enquiries. The companies ever expanding transport fleet consists of a growing number of state-of-the-art vehicles, which are a regular sight on the UK's integrated roadway network.

Vellco also hold a number of important waste management contracts and partnerships with market leaders in retail tyre chains including ATS and National Tyres & Autocare covering a wide variety of automotive waste streams.

Such innovative achievements have been rewarded as Vellco were winners of the 2007 TAFF Awards for the best environmental company in the UK tyre industry and were nominated in the same category for the 2008 awards.

The company's latest venture was to make their first appearance as exhibitors at the 2008 Reifen 2008 Tyre Show in Essen, Germany to assess the European market for the future following a recent contract with one of Europe's leading truck tyre manufacturers to handle their casing facilities which offers a potential 'springboard' opportunity to take their business to the next logical step of progress.
