Stellana US
Hexpol subsidiary in Lake Geneva, WI making polyurethane and rubber wheels for AGV/AMR continuous-duty operation.
Stellana US, headquartered in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, is a business unit of Hexpol AB — a Swedish specialty polymer group — and operates as one of the world's leading manufacturers of polyurethane wheels, polyurethane tires, rubber tires, caster wheels, and thermoplastic wheels. The company's roots trace to Sweden in 1946, when the parent brand was founded with a focus on industrial wheel innovation. The US facility at 999 S Wells St, Lake Geneva, WI 53147, serves North American markets across material handling, conveyor systems, elevator and escalator, construction, and snow and ice industries.
Stellana US is particularly recognized in the AGV and AMR sector. Its engineering teams design and manufacture drive wheels, load wheels, and caster wheels specifically for Automated Guided Vehicles and Autonomous Mobile Robots, adhering to zero TIR (Total Indicated Runout) tolerances — wheels are machined to a nearly perfect outer diameter and cylindricity, with a total runout from bolt-hole circle of .005 inches. This precision is critical for autonomous vehicles that require consistent wheel diameters across a fleet to avoid odometry drift.
Key product categories include: polyurethane wheels (standard and custom), rubber-bonded wheels, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) wheels, forklift tires (press-on and pneumatic), load wheels, and engineered custom wheels for OEM specifications. The Smoothy zero TIR product line targets AGV and AS/RS (Automated Storage and Retrieval System) applications where runout errors directly degrade navigation accuracy.
Stellana's polyurethane compounds are non-marking — a requirement for food, pharmaceutical, and cleanroom logistics environments — and feature low rolling resistance that reduces battery drain on electric AGV fleets, improving uptime. Wheels can carry higher loads under continuous operations while maintaining traction, braking performance, and floor protection.
The company operates production sites in the United States, Sweden, Sri Lanka, and China, and maintains a distribution facility in Germany. Stellana is a member of A3 (Association for Advancing Automation) and MHI (Material Handling Institute), and its wheels appear in TVH's authorized replacement parts catalog, indicating recognition as an OEM-grade supplier for industrial fleet operators.
