Wabash Takes Steps to Ensure Tire Availability
Oct 9, 2006 4:03 PM
Wabash National Corporation today announced the company has taken precautionary measures to help ensure availability of trailer tires despite the recent strike announcement related to the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.
In addition to commitments from Goodyear on their existing tire stock, the company has ordered safety stock from two other leading tire manufacturers. Currently, the company believes it has secured enough reserve tire stock to support a minimum of ten weeks uninterrupted production.
"We have assurances from two leading suppliers that, as a priority customer, tire delivery and capacity will not be an issue," said Dick Giromini President and Chief Operating Officer. "We will continue to monitor the situation and take the steps necessary to meet our customers' production requirements."
