Alliance Opens First NA Warehouse

(Akron/Tire Review) Alliance Tire USA opened its first North American warehouse this week, located in Springfield, Ill. The company did not say how large the facility was. “This is a very exciting development for us, and allows Alliance and our customers the opportunity to ensure that we can put Alliance tires on equipment at short notice,” said Manjri Shah, manager of Alliance, based in Denville, N.J. “Many customers, especially original equipment manufacturers, have been eager to see a warehouse to ensure a quick way to fill surprise needs.”

Shah said Alliance customers will continue working through their normal supply channels to fill container loads. The warehouse is for emergency needs only, she noted. In addition, the company is also soliciting suggestions from its customers on the tread designs and sizes that they would like to have close at hand. Seeking customer input will help ensure “a steady supply of the right products,” according to Alliance president Joseph Anglister.
