KENT, England (Feb. 10, 2016) — Off-road tire and track specialist Camso Ltd. has acquired Southern Industrial Tyres Ltd. of Kent, a long-time United Kingdom distributor for Camoplast and Solideal products, in a strategic effort to strengthen its materials-handling tire distribution and service business in the U.K.
“The addition of Southern Industrial Tyres and its team to the Camso family is an important and valued move for us,” said Gregory Fossey, vice-president, material handling, Europe/Middle East/Africa, at Camso, formerly known as Camoplast Solideal.
Southern Industrial Tyres has built a reputation by having a self-sufficient on-site service for fleet checks, tire fitment, professional wheel exchange, foam filling and puncture proofing, as well as environmental disposal, Camso said.
