Steinbichler begins US distribution agreement

The Tire Repair & Information Bureau reports that US-based company Tesco Italmatic LLC has signed an exclusive agreement with Germany’s Steinbichler to sell and service the company’s passenger car, light commercial vehicle, truck, aviation and OTR shearography machinery in the Americas. Tesco Italmatic is said to be “excited” to supply the retreading industry with the Steinbichler range.

The newly-minted Steinbichler distributor is itself a young entity – the creation of Tesco Italmatic was reported in September 2013. According to a statement released by Italmatic, the company is a joint venture operation set up by Italmatic Group and Tesco of America to distribute the Italian manufacturer’s products in North, Central and South America. In welcoming the establishment of Tesco Italmatic, both Daniel Zeledon, managing director of Tesco of America, and Dr. Massimo Ghitturi, CEO of Italmatic Group, pointed out that the joint venture further enhances the footprint of the two partners in these key, strategic regions.

“The quality of the products and the well recognised Italmatic brand name will strengthen service, support and sales to ensure a position from where we will be able to achieve further growth in these dynamic and expanding economic regions,” said Italmatic in a press statement. “There are many synergies between the two companies, since Tesco is known for its service, quality of products offered and its technical support in all the Americas. In addition, Italmatic Group brings innovative, quality-minded equipment, service and product knowledge that is geared towards total customer satisfaction.”
