Weissenfels was established in Tarvisio, Italy in the 1960's, producing snow chains for all types of vehicles. They are best known for their clack & go auto-tensioning system, which utilises spring-loaded steel cable reels.
The company was acquired in 2015 by Rud Group, a German manufacturer with expertise in chain technology founded in 1875 by the Rieger family in Aalen, Germany. As part of the RUD group, Weissenfels benefits from decades of German chain manufacturing expertise while maintaining its focus on snow chain innovation and quality.
Today, Weissenfels is recognised as one of the leading European companies specialising in snow chain production, not only on passenger cars but also SUVs, vans & specialist vehicles. The brand strives to provide a good price-to-quality ratio through product series such as the Weissenfels Clack & Go, Weissenfels Tecna, Weissenfels REX, TRAK Auto and NEO.
