Martins announced that it acquired tire repair products manufacturer Safety Seal.

Safety Seal, which was founded in 1964, developed the first tire repair plug that applied directly to a tire without dismounting it, and the company has supported more than one billion Safety Seal repairs worldwide. The acquisition expands Martins' product portfolio and adds tire repair solutions to its existing umbrella of equipment, tools, balancing products, and storage solutions.
