First Industry Tyres becomes Continental exclusive supplier

First Industrial Tyres (FIT) has been named as Continental Specialty Tyres’ exclusive agent for the north east of England. According to the company, this greatly supports the expansion of Continental’s premium fitting and servicing network throughout the UK and Ireland.

FIT is the latest member of Continental Tyre’s national industrial network ‘Conti Industrial Fleet Services,’ which supplies solid and pneumatic Continental tyres to the materials handling market.

“We are delighted to have been named a member of Conti Industrial Fleet Services,” explains Eddy Woolley from FIT. “Continental is one of the leading tyre manufacturers in the world and we’re proud to be associated with such an established brand by being a member of this well respected, independent network.”

FIT will run Conti Industrial Fleet Services from its depot in Washington, which was opened last year to respond to the demand for industrial tyres in the north east of England. As well as holding a static press, FIT also has mobile presses to service its client’s fleets on site.

Across the UK and Ireland there are over 30 IMI certified network and associate members for fitting solid tyres and over 100 pneumatic members and associates, which also incorporates Continental’s large and successful Conti360° truck network.
