Trelleborg, Sweden – Trelleborg Wheel Systems has acquired White Baumaschinenreifen GmbH (White), a German company specialising in servicing, fitting and repair of pneumatic and solid tires for construction vehicles.
The company, part of Swedish Trelleborg AB, said 2 Nov that the acquisition would further strengthen its European distribution network for tires for materials handling and construction vehicles.
The acquired company is located in Duisburg, Germany, with sales of SEK 90 million (€9.1 million) in 2016.

The deal, added Pompei, strengthens the TWS supply chain, from manufacturing to service of tires.
