Magna Tyres Group, a second-tier Off-The-Road (OTR) tire supplier, has acquired the Australia-based company Fennell Tyres International. Financial details were not disclosed.

Fennell Tyres International is known for its competitively priced, high-quality OTR, mining and TBR tire solutions. Magna Tyres recognizes the demand for high-quality, off-the-road tires in Australia and the value of a long-term relationship with customers. Magna Tyres’ main goal is to strengthen its position worldwide. The acquisition provides additional growth opportunities and increase on tire volume. It also fulfils the long-lasting desire to support Australian customers with full-service tire solutions.

Michael de Ruijter, CEO and President of Magna Tyres Group, said in a statement, “We were attracted to Fennell Tyres International by the common vision on expanding both companies and product portfolio.

We listen to our customers and always try to support them with the best tire solutions. Our goal is to establish a long-term partnership rather than a short-term success,” concluded de Ruijter.
