Bob Sumerel Tire buys five Kauffman Tire commercial locations

摘要

Bob Sumerel Tire Co. Inc., a predominantly commercial tire distribution and service company based in Erlanger, Ky., has acquired five northeast Ohio locations from Kauffman Tire Inc. The locations, formerly a part of Kauffman Tire's Commercial Division, include four combination retail/commercial and farm tire service centers located in Wooster, Ravenna, Orwell and Medina. A Bandag retread plant, also located at the Wooster facility, is part of the acquisition. "This acquisition has no impact on the wholesale distribution side of Kauffman's distribution network that is in northern Ohio," said the company in a statement. "This addition strengthens (our) service presence for commercial fleets and transportation companies in northern Ohio and gives (us) more opportunities to strengthen our entire servicing network."
