ITDG becomes exclusive US Diamondback distributor

The Independent Tire Dealers Group (ITDG) has announced its exclusive distribution and marketing of the Diamondback passenger car and light truck tyre brand in the United States. The buying group said it is working in concert with Husky Tire of San Antonio, Texas, which provides logistical support expertise.

“After another record year in group purchases of over US$170 million, volume-bonus/dividend payments of $6.2 million and now over 400 points of sale in 31 states, ITDG has the ability to take on the requirements necessary to commit to an exclusive line of tyres,” said Ed Long, vice-president of sales and marketing for ITDG. “We’ve had great success in growing our business by adding new members in new geographies over the past several years.”

He added the exclusive Diamondback brand programme will enable ITDG to “further penetrate existing markets and expand into new markets that may have been more difficult in the past due to brand conflicts.”

ITDG is comprised of more than 400 points of sale in 31 states, with estimated member sales of over $1 billion. Group offices are located in Tequesta, Florida. (Tire Review)
