GLOBAL FOOTPRINT
OTR’s global footprint comprises 32 facilities located in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, England, Germany, Czech Republic, China, Thailand and Sri Lanka. Headquartered in Rome, Georgia, 1-1/2 hours northwest of Atlanta, OTR’s commitment to operational excellence, coupled with value-added logistics solutions, is at the core of what we do, and what we do well.
Locations provide manufacturing, painting and assembly; tire mounting, sequencing and warehousing; subassembly; and foam- and tire-fill services. As a result, we are well positioned to support localization initiatives for OEMs, with stocks in place for distribution partners, ensuring coast-to-coast aftermarket coverage.
OTR’s 16 U.S. locations, totaling nearly 2 million square feet, support well-known OEMs and distributors who depend on us for mission-critical products and services. Of particular note, our business model enables us to quickly open NEW facilities, with the teams and horsepower to make it happen. This capability, in turn, has enabled us to establish long-lasting partnerships with key OEMs, delivering on our brand promise to be a total solutions provider.
In the U.S., we manufacture and paint wheels, rims and components in four locations – Rome, Georgia; Omaha, Nebraska; Jacksonville, Florida; and Quincy, Illinois. We also provide foam- and tire-fill services in multiple facilities to service OEMs, distributors and dealers all over the U.S. Further, several locations now provide subassembly service, as a leveraged resource for OEMs, resulting in cost savings.
