UNION CITY, Tenn. (Sept. 28, 2016) — Titan International Inc. is venturing into the non-tire rubber products sector with the launch of a specialty rubber products division based at the former Goodyear tire plant in Union City that Titan purchased in 2011.
The division's first two product lines are a range of cattle-, swine- and horse-stall mats and semi-truck and dump-truck mud flaps.
Jeff Kramer, vice president of business development at Titan International, said Titan saw opportunities to offer American-made products in product categories that are complementary to its tire business.
“Titan saw a need for long-lasting agricultural mats that keep producers' most important asset in mind — their livestock,” Mr. Kramer said.
