Interfit Acquires Industrial Tire Solutions

Yokohama TWS’ Interfit material handling tire and wheel services business has acquired Chicago, Ill.-based Industrial Tire Solutions (ITS).

Founded in 2006 by Mike Pollini and the late Charlie Cohen, ITS provides “city-wide coverage with on-site fitment, primarily targeting end users,” according to Interfit officials.

“The acquisition of ITS’ business aligns with Interfit vision of offering fast, reliable and expert service to customers worldwide, with a strong focus on operational efficiency, uptime, and safety. By integrating a well-established U.S. service provider into its network, Interfit adds new capabilities, regional expertise and increased service coverage to meet the needs of its growing customer base.”

The transaction “marks a new chapter in our expansion journey,” says Robert Renfrew, regional Interfit director U.S. and Canada. “The U.S. is a critical market for our industry and we’re proud to strengthen our local presence with a trusted partner. Our goal is to continue delivering best-in-class tire services that support our customers’ productivity and sustainability goals, wherever they operate.”
