Unitrac takes on Solideal name

March 20, 2006

Unitrac Tires Inc. has changed its name to Solideal Canada. Solideal has been a shareholder in Unitrac since 1991.

"The decision to change the company name is part of the increased presence that Solideal has earned in its world markets," say Unitrac officials.

"Solideal manufactures tires in Sri Lanka, the United States, Serbia and France. It operates distribution companies in many of the important markets throughout the world.

"As the group continues to grow, Solideal Canada will continue to benefit from new product launches, global OEM partnerships, global corporate resources and the reputation of one of the most respected names in the forklift and construction tire businesses."
