Trelleborg has, through its business area Trelleborg Wheel Systems, signed an agreement and finalized the acquisition of White Baumaschinenreifen GmbH (White).

“The acquisition gives us the opportunity to expand our tire service concept for materials handling and construction vehicles, while also allowing us to enhance our sales of service and distribution in Europe. It strengthens our entire supply chain, from manufacturing to service of tires,” says Paolo Pompei, President of the Trelleborg business area.

The transaction will be consolidated as of November 2, 2017.
