Our Brands
The Aebi Schmidt Group as a group and brand was established in March 2019. At that time, smaller, locally leading brands such as Tellefsdal, Broddway, Beilhack, MFH and others were integrated into six global product brands. In recent years, the brand portfolio has grown steadily through further acquisitions, so that we are now represented in various markets with a total of twenty different brands. Here they are in alphabetical order.

Aebi
Aebi, founded in 1883 in Burgdorf, Switzerland, is the world's leading brand for vehicles that enable the safe mechanical cultivation and maintenance of extreme slopes and particularly demanding terrain. In 1976, Aebi launched the first Terratrac on the market, and it remains the benchmark reference in its class today. The current portfolio is supplemented by single-axle implement carriers as well as powerful transporters with implement carrier functions which enable versatile and multifunctional bodies and attachments. This makes Aebi attractive not only for agriculture, but also to the municipal sector.




Arctic
In 1934, August Karvonen, the founder of the Arctic brand owner’s predecessor, Teho, had the vision of producing high performance road maintenance products sophisticated enough to allow the safe passage of traffic. Fifty years later, the company patented the unique side-plough technology in the Scandinavian countries. Arctic today is a leader when it comes to full and comprehensive solutions for both the winter and summer maintenance, not only in Scandinavia, but in the Baltic States too.

ELP
It is often the newcomers which show where the future is heading. Équipements Lourds Papineau (ELP) was founded in 1991, and realised earlier than many others, that our industries aren't looking necessarily for equipment but for solutions.
