New Technical Advisor Appointed
”After meetings with key players in the Chilean mining industry this past winter, we decided that to best meet our customers’ needs we needed local and permanent representation” said Gilles Wauthy, president of ITRS regarding the new position. “Jonathon came to us highly recommended by the Bailac Group, where he worked for 12 years as a tyre repair technician, repairing tyres all over Latin American from Mexico to the Chilean Patagonia, and he has seen at first hand the economic and overall benefits of tyre repair. If all goes well, we should be opening up a subsidiary in Chile by end of this year,” he added.
ITRS, headquartered in Terrebonne Quebec, has developed in the past 13 years to become a world leader in cable replacement technology as well as a prominent supplier of tyre repair products and training certifications in tyre repair from truck to OTR tyres for the mining, agricultural and industrial sectors.
ITRS has been expanding into the Latin Markets since 2012 and now has agencies in Mexico and Ecuador as well as a subsidiary in Costa Rica. With the addition of the Chilean operation, ITRS is now able to cover distribution to the whole of Latin America.
