Thailand is the birthplace of countless pickups and 4x4s, and after working with distributors in Thailand for the last 10 years, ARB established its own sales presence in 2009. ARB’s origins in Thailand began when the ARB and OME brands were first introduced to the market with resounding success. The ARB and OME brands offer customers an extensive product range to cater for the numerous purposes their 4×4 vehicles are used for. Strengthened by the Thai people’s love for everything outdoors and off road, the Thai market is the second largest pickup market in the world and is the perfect fit with ARB. An industry leader, ARB understands the pleasure and pride derived from 4×4 vehicles in Thailand as it’s what underpins ARB’s success. ARB recognises the needs of 4×4 owners and takes pride in producing world class accessories. The future for ARB is bright and with a recent factory expansion now completed, ARB Thailand is in a great position to continue to provide outstanding 4×4 accessories. With such diverse landscapes to explore and the number of vehicles available growing, ARB is honoured to be able to supply the region directly from its state of the art facilities in Thailand. With a dedicated team that is strengthened by the history and success of ARB Australia, ARB stays committed to our dealers across Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar to deliver the best quality 4×4 accessories you can rely on. ARB’s Australian origins date back to 1975, when company founder, Tony Brown, was inspired by a 4WDing trip through the top end of the country. Back then, 4WDers relied on homemade or ill-fitting equipment that was not designed for extensive Outback expeditions. Endless corrugated roads, extreme temperatures, and the heavy loads carried by Australian travellers were extremely punishing on vehicles that regularly tackled these kinds of conditions. Tony’s many years spent toiling on his Series 1 Land Rover proved extremely beneficial to others in the top end during his travels. Damaged bull bars and broken roof racks ensured Tony’s expertise was regularly called on, and through this experience an idea was born – to produce high quality, durable equipment that would meet the vigorous demands of 4WD owners. Upon his return to Melbourne, Tony put theory into practice and began working in the family garage to address some of the product deficiencies he’d encountered on his trip. It was exactly what Australian 4WDers had been waiting for, and ARB, the initials of Anthony Ronald Brown, was founded. Today, ARB is Australia’s largest manufacturer and distributor of 4×4 accessories. Further building upon our Australian and Thailand facilities, we also have an extensive international presence, with an office in the USA and an export network that extends through more than 100 countries around the globe. Our philosophy, however, has never wavered from its original course – quality, reliability and practicality above all else.
