OTR Tyres and Kal Tire of Canada have recently announced that they are joining forces to create the first Global Earthmover Tyre Service company.
OTR Group MD, Chris Skelton, said: "OTR are very pleased to announce that Kal Tire - the world's largest earthmover tyre dealer - have made a majority equity investment in the OTR Tyres Group. This investment represents the most significant global transaction in the earthmover tyre service industry, as it sees the creation of the first truly global earthmover tyre service company.
The deal is the culmination of lengthy discussions between OTR and Kal Tire where the focus has been on how both companies can work together to provide a better service offering to our customers on a global basis. Customers operate across continents and expect world class standards in service and health and safety wherever they are operating. Tyre suppliers have a global product offering, but it is not possible to get a global service offering to go alongside this, until now.
We have now taken a significant step towards being able to achieve this. If a customer has a mine in South America, Africa and Australia it will be possible to have the same standards of health and safety, tyre service, training, tyre monitoring and reporting across all mine sites - thus making the attainment of global best practices more achievable."
OTR Tyres are one of the world's leading earthmover tyre specialists with state of the art retread manufacturing facilities in the UK and Africa. Renowned globally for their commitment to health, safety and training OTR continue to lead the way with the development of earthmover tyre products and services.
