Titan said that with its acquisition of the former Continental OTR plant in Bryan, Ohio, Deere approached the tire and wheel maker to “help them meet tire demand and overcome shortage challenges.”
“What really impresses me is the commitment Deere is making not only for their current supply needs, but also their commitment to partner with Titan to develop new tires for their customers,” said Morry Taylor, chairman, president and CEO of Titan.
Titan also said it has invested in the world’s largest rim line to produce new single-piece wheels to replace multi-piece wheels. “This innovation will allow for the development of enhanced tires for the OTR market,” the company said.
