Martins Industries launches products in 3 categories

MONTREAL — Martins Industries Inc. has launched 17 products in three categories, expanding its portfolio for tire and automotive service shops.

The products fall into these categories: tire spreaders; floor jacks and accessories; and mounting and demounting truck tie tools.

All products may be purchased online via the company's revamped e-commerce website, as well as directly through the Martins' sales force and distribution partners. Late last year, Martins Industries updated its e-commerce website for purchasing tire equipment.

"Equipment purchasers from that sector regularly tell us that, after ordering from us for the first time and seeing how swiftly things went and how reliable the products were, they came on our website to see what other products we had for them," Martins President Martin Depelteau said.

The company launched two models of tire spreaders, one for passenger vehicle tires (passenger, SUV) and another specialized for truck/bus tires.

In early February, Martins unveiled a professional and a conventional series of hydraulic floor jacks and jack stands.

More recently the company entered the manual tire-changing tools category with the release of tire bead breakers, bead holders and mounting/demounting tools for standard semi-truck and super single tires.

Mr. Depelteau said other products will follow.

Montreal-based Martins designs and manufacturers tire equipment to store, handle, inflate and display tires and wheels, with distribution centers in the U.S., Canada, Netherlands and Australia.
