Watts Tyre Group has signed an
agreement with Trelleborg Industrial
Tires Europe for the distribution of
Trelleborg industrial tyre products in
France. Under the agreement Watts
will integrate Trelleborg’s industrial
tyres activities with its own and will
distribute Trelleborg tyre products
alongside the Watts product range.

Following the agreement Watts
will formally divide its French
operations into a wholesale
distribution business and a specialist
service operation. The service
business, said to be the largest in
France, will trade under the name
Interfit and will be the exclusive
distributor of Trelleborg industrial
tyre products in France.

Jean-Paul Mindermann comments
“We believe this to be a hugely
significant development both for us
as a tyre business and for the French
market.”
