About Us

Founded in 1977, and formerly known as P.A. Thorpe (VC) Ltd, today TYRI UK stands as one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of vehicle components for demanding environments and applications.

P.A. Thorpe (now TYRI UK) has a long-standing reputation for providing quality products to the biggest names in the Agricultural, Construction, Mining, Forestry, Material Handling, and Off-Highway Industries.

Although we are now TYRI UK, our team remains the same and continues to offer the highest levels of quality and service as always.

UK Manufacturing & Quality

From our factory in North Yorkshire, we produce and distribute our high-quality range of work lights, wiper systems, and steering wheels to the UK and around the world.

Through maintaining these high standards, we are proud to have been awarded ISO 9001 2015 and ISO 14001 2015. Equally, our ongoing work towards Sustainability has gained us the prestigious Ecovadis Silver Award. Read more about our EcoVadis award here.
