“For my company, distribution channels is dependent on many factors. One of the factors is geographical location. The manufacturing plants are strategically placed around the United States. Numerous plants are located in proximity of their intended products usage. One example is, we have a plant that only makes off road tires. These off road tires are for large farming and mining vehicles. Since the majority of these tires are used throughout the Midwest, this specific tire plant is geographically located in the Midwest to reduce the cost of distribution as well as reduce the time for delivery since many of these tires takes an extended period to make as well as special considerations for distribution.

For our normal passenger and truck tire plants, we have also strategically placed them near more populous areas that match their intended targets. In situations where we do not have a footprint in the area we have setup distribution warehouses to reach those locations and even partnered with competitors to create new distribution channels to meet those geographic locations and open up the market to sell our tires to a wider range of tire resellers.” – James F.
