Titan International cutting wheel production at its Saltville plant

In response to weakness in the mining market, key North American wheel production is to be relocated from Titan International’s manufacturing facility in Saltville, Virginia to its wheel division headquarters in Quincy, Illinois. The company reports this measure is being taken in order to “take advantage of production capacities.”

“We’re consolidating production in order to more effectively serve our key mining customers, providing them the innovative wheel solutions they’ve come to depend on,” explains Titan president and chief executive officer, Paul Reitz. “During this transition, our customer service and support teams are committed to ensuring that our customers experience minimal service or production interruptions. As the mining market returns, Titan will evaluate moving production back to the Saltville, Virginia facility.”
