Global motorsport brand Nova Motorsport has acquired Portugal’s national tyre manufacturer, Camac.

Nova specialises in premium competition and specialist tyres.

The acquisition of Camac signals a significant expansion in Nova Motorsport’s capability and reach within the specialist and motorsport tyre industry, it says.

It will further cement its exclusive role as global supplier of the majority of Avon Motorsport and Avon Racing products.

Based in Palmeira, Portugal, Camac has production capacity of over 500,000 tyres annually. The company has long been established as a key player in the specialist tyre market, including the highly competitive motorsport sector.

James Weekley, Nova Motorsport Commercial Director, said: "The acquisition of Camac represents a fundamental milestone in the execution of Nova Motorsport’s global business strategy.”

Nova has recently employed technical experts and engineers in the motorsport industries, with an existing technical and manufacturing team recommissioning the new factory, being supported by its Global Technical Centre and HQ in Holt, England.

With significant production capacity and an enhanced technical and engineering team, the brand says it is poised to deliver advancements in tyre performance and customer service to the global motorsport community.
