Titan International has formed a new company to provide tire, wheel and track services directly to end-users of its OTR products.
While top management for the company has not been set, Titan Mining Services will launch its first location in Fort MacKay, Alberta, to service customers working in the Canadian oil sands in the northern portion of the province. For that operation, Titan said it is partnering with long-time customer Saskatoon Wholesale Tire Ltd.
Titan said it chose to kick-off the subsidiaries business in the oil sands “because of the great amount of equipment used in the region.”
Chairman and CEO Morry Taylor said Titan had been “approached by a number of mines to offer this service,” and that Titan plans to rapidly expand the business globally. “As we expand, Titan will be working with local businesses in all areas of the world,” said Taylor. “Titan is the only company worldwide that has the engineering expertise on wheels, tires and track components and we will be training many new technicians.”
