Goodyear has completed the previously-announced acquisition of automated tyre inspection company, Ventech Systems from Grenzebach Maschinenbau to support its fleet services in Europe and other global regions.
Ventech Systems provides a fully-automated tyre inspection system to check tyre pressure, tread depth and vehicle weight for buses, trucks, cars and other vehicles.
The company, based in Dorsten, Germany, will be integrated into the Goodyear Proactive Solutions business in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region, where Goodyear’s Proactive Solutions programme is currently available.
Andre Weisz, managing director, Goodyear Proactive Solutions, has been named CEO of Ventech Systems. Andreas Pietsch, Ventech Systems chief operating officer, will remain in that position.
Last year, Goodyear launched Goodyear Proactive Solutions to provide a suite of operations management solutions supporting fleet owners to improve safety, decrease fuel use, reduce their carbon footprint and support the digital transformation of their fleet.
“The acquisition strengthens Goodyear’s one stop value proposition towards fleets, including premium tyres, advanced technology and mobile fleet solutions as well as a complete service package to allow them to optimise their total cost of ownership and efficiency,” said a statement from the supplier.
