September 19, 2006 • Quincy, Ill.-based Titan Tire Corp. and Titan Wheel Corp. of Illinois, subsidiaries of Titan International, Inc., have entered a new five-year wheel and tire supply agreement with Grove Crane, Shady Grove, Pa. Under the terms of the agreement, Titan will supply tires for all of Grove's rough-terrain cranes.

 

“Titan is happy to partner with Grove, a company known for strong, reliable lifting solutions, in this long-term commitment,” said Maurice Taylor, Jr., Titan chairman and chief executive officer. He added that the General OTR tire brand is one of the leading tires in the crane industry.
