Watts Tyre Group is expanding its Interfit service operation into the Czech Republic.

Chief executive Jean-Paul Mindermann says the company's move into the Czech Republic follows Interfit's successful launch in the UK, France and Germany.

"In the six months since Interfit was launched, we have already seen how customers benefit from a multi-brand choice and our service standards," he says, adding that Interfit is Europe's leading on-site tyre and wheel service supplier to the materials handling industry. "By bringing [it] to Czech Republic, we are strengthening that position," he explains.

Mindermann says the group expects that more expansions for Interfit will follow.

Interfit operations in Czech Republic will begin in September.

The Watts Tyre Group provides tyre and wheel solutions globally. It has operations in the UK, France, Germany, US, Uruguay and Mexico and distributes in 60 countries. It produces brands like Premia, Kargo and FMCX.
