Trax JH Ltd., the U.K.’s only manufacturer of wheel balance weights, has expanded its operations into the U.S.
Based in Florida, Trax JH USA Inc. provides Trax branded steel adhesive weights to the North American aftermarket. The move into the U.S. follows the “overwhelmingly positive reaction” Trax received after exhibiting at SEMA 2008. The company was back at the Las Vegas show in November 2009 exhibiting products designed specifically for the U.S. market.
According to the company, Trax’s lead-free products are in strong demand in the North American market. Trax adhesive weights are made from steel, an environmental solution that has the advantage of being easier to recycle than zinc or composite materials.
Martin Blakey, who heads up the Trax USA operation as vice president of sales and marketing, said, "We are very excited to be bringing our products to the U.S. It’s a tough market but we believe Trax has the product design expertise and high quality brand required for success.” (Tyres & Accessories)
