Ontario Tire Stewardship (OTS) Used Tire Program
Monday, August 24, 2009
Dear Valued Customer,
This is to advise you of the new Ontario Tire Stewardship (OTS) Used Tires Program.
At this time, Solideal Canada, along with many tire companies are in discussions with OTS personnel to clarify, understand and implement the regulations as outlined for Industrial solid, pneumatic and OTR tires. Based on the information provided by OTS, Solideal Canada is classified as a “Steward” & “Collector”, which means we are obligated to collect and remit stewardship fees to the government. The start date for the program has been set for September 1, 2009.
Solideal maintains a strong commitment to the environment. As Unitrac Tires, we were one of the first companies to introduce industrial tire recycling programs in Canada. In addition, working with our factories, we have expanded our Solideal Recycling Program (SRP).
We appreciate your patience during the introduction of the Ontario Tire Stewardship program. Please follow the link below to find a copy of an OTS letter introducing the program.
Further details will follow and can be obtained at www.ontariots.ca.
Kind regards,
Bob Bulger

The New Solideal Track selector upgrades the standards.
Friday, September 12, 2008
Solideal enhances the service to customers by upgrading its track selector to a new standard: one place to easily find the rubber track, agricultural track or Over the Tire track that you need!
Solideal enhances the service to rubber track customers by upgrading its track selector to a new standard: one place to easily identify the construction, agricultural or Over the Tire rubber track that you need!
Since its introduction, solideal.com website has offered a track selector to help customers easily identify which rubber track they need to fit on each construction tracked machine such as mini excavators and compact tracked loaders (CTL).
This service is now upgraded to provide solutions for the full range of Solideal Rubber Tracks to include agricultural rubber tracks for tracked tractors and available Solideal OTT Over-the-Tire tracks for skidsteer loaders.
“Finding the exact track size for a machine is not always easy. Based on our customers’ requests we have developed a user friendly tool. It takes only three clicks to get the right information. First narrow down to the type of rubber tracks you need, select the machine brand and model and you will instantly see which Solideal product will fit your machine.” says Erik Van Roy, Business Line Manager for Rubber Tracks.
