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.

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.

AMMCO^® has been in business since 1922 and has been manufacturing brake lathes since 1953. Over the last 60 years, AMMCO has sold more than a quarter of a million lathes, many of which are still in operation.

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.

More recently, Hennessy introduced the BASELINE^® brand of tire changers and wheel balancers. BASELINE offers low volume shops an affordable way to offer dependable tire changing and wheel balancing services.
