Employees from both organizations will collaborate to become a bigger, better team, according to Camoplast Solideal, which said this acquisition establishes its industrial footprint in the region and demonstrates the company's dedication to consolidating its position as the leader in the off-the-road mobility sector.
Among Rodaco's product portfolio are industrial tires for fork lift trucks, skid steer loaders, crane forklifts, trailers and lifting platforms, along with a range of press-on band tires and industrial wheels for forklifts — two pieces wheels, split wheels, divided steel wheels, lock rings, system fix, clip or quick for all makes of forklifts, cranes, trailers and forklift trucks.
Rodaco supplements its own manufacturing with imports, the firm said on its website, and sells either directly or through distributors in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, the U.S. and Uruguay.
Magog-based Camoplast Solideal was formed in 2010 through the merger of rubber-track maker Camoplast and Luxembourg-based Solideal Group.
It's engaged in designing, making and distributing off-road tires, wheels, rubber tracks and undercarriage systems to the materials-handling, construction, agricultural and powersports industries. It employs more than 7,500 and operates plants in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Asia.
