The range of Galaxy-branded pneumatic products covered by the agreement includes tires for diverse and demanding applications such as: agricultural radial and bias, skid steer, forestry, lawn and garden, OTR, backhoe and telescopic handlers, as well as other agricultural and industrial segments.
GPX will continue to independently market its range of Forklift Industrial, Inter-Modal port and full range of solid tires.
The collaboration between the companies started in 2007, through a pilot program for the exclusive distribution of the Galaxy agricultural tire range in Spain, Italy and the Nordic Countries. The program proved to be a success and on that basis, GPX and Trelleborg decided to expand the program broadly across Europe ro better serve their customers and strengthen the position of their respective brands in the market, the companies stated in a press release.
