auto dealerships, tire retreaders and general repair facilities rely on our
broad product selection, rapid availability and personal service to be more
productive and profitably grow their business.
While the needs and composition of our distribution markets constantly change,

its suppliers to develop innovative products and services to meet these needs.

repair and retreading products in the United States. Service professionals rely
on our extensive product selection and quality for safe, cost-effective repairs

expertise to create a diverse portfolio of products outside of the tire repair
market, such as reflective highway marking tapes. Our rubber-based tape and

areas. Compared with traditional highway paint, the tape stock is easier to
apply, more reflective and longer lasting.
