Tyre specialist ATS Euromaster has signed a two-year deal with independent wheel distributor Motor Wheel Service (MWS) aimed at more than doubling ATS Euromaster's share of the UK commercial vehicle wheel market by the end of 2013.
Thanks to its agreement with MWS, ATS Euromaster will now be able to offer a one-stop service to commercial vehicle fleets, meeting both their tyre and wheel needs.
ATS Euromaster is not new to supplying wheels to truck, bus and coach fleets, supplying around 7,000 such wheels in 2011. The deal with MWS will increase ATS Euromaster's wheel stock, with MWS also providing technical support and training, better positioning ATS Euromaster as a key supplier in this market.
John Ellis, Managing Director of MWS, explained: "Over the last few years we've been campaigning extensively for increased safety checks on commercial vehicles' wheels. This new relationship with ATS Euromaster reinforces our belief that wheels should be supplied and inspected by professional organisations employing skilled technicians. I am confident that by working in partnership with ATS Euromaster, we will be able to jointly improve the safety of the UK's commercial vehicles."
