Four of the OTR retreaders will supply finished retreads to Bandag franchised and non-franchised dealers.
The new supply deals have been struck with Brahlers Truckers Supply of Jacksonville, Ill.; J&M Tire International of Oshawa, Ont.; McDonald Tire Co. of San Antonio, Texas; Southwest Retread Center of Albuquerque, N.M.; and W.W. Tire Service of Bryant, S.D.
“Off-the-road fleets continue to choose retread tires as a solution to the global shortage for new tires and as a means for getting the most out of the investment they’ve made in their tire casings,” says Mike Poirier, Bandag’s North American OTR sales manager. “The addition of these manufacturers to our North American distribution network is important in meeting the needs of fleets in construction, mining, logging, utility and marine port industries, which have been greatly impacted by the new tire shortage.”
