Solideal On-Site Service, the service division of off-road wheel, tyre and track manufacturer Camso, has acquired Forklift Tyre Specialists Hull.

Solideal has now expanded its coverage in the UK

Solideal vice president of aftermarket in Europe, Middle East and Africa Gregory Fossey said: “This is a strategic acquisition that will go a long way in improving our service coverage in the north east region of the UK and will fill a gap we currently have close to the port area of Hull. With FTS located an hour away from our closest service centre, our customers in this area will have quicker access to tyre replacement services.”

Headquartered in Magog, Canada, Camso designs, manufactures and distributes off-road tyres, wheels, rubber tracks and undercarriage systems with facilities across North and South America, Europe and Asia. It supplies its products to manufacturers under the brands Camso and Solideal.
