Ride-On Tire Sealants Roll Out in Nigeria

Sterling, VA (PRWeb) March 12, 2007 -- Inovex Industries, Inc., the manufacturer of the Ride-On TPS line of tire sealants and pumps, is pleased to announce the initialization of its business in Nigeria.

This first major market opening for Ride-On on the African continent is headed by Kayode Thomas, a Nigeria- and UK-based entrepreneur with several successful wholesale service businesses.

Over the past few months, Thomas has spent a substantial period of time at Inovex's headquarters in the United States learning about the Ride-On TPS product line, and is now looking forward to growing Ride-On into one of the most recognized and trusted brands in Nigeria. "Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt are our initial target markets, but we intend to make Ride-On tire sealants available in all areas of the country shortly," stated Thomas.              

"Nigeria is a large market on the move," asserted Andrew McCabe, the CFO and VP of Strategic Planning at Inovex. "The recent substantial reduction in [Nigeria's external debt, strong GDP growth and the promise of the first civilian-to-civilian transfer of power in the nation's history this coming April suggest a impending boom in infrastructure investment in that country."

Hormoz Farkhan, Inovex's chief scientist, outlined the anticipated impact of Nigeria's accelerating economic growth on the sales of Ride-On. "With fleets large and small set to log far more miles both on- and off-road in the coming years, fleet managers and individual vehicle owners will increasingly seek out the use of cost-saving products such as Ride-On TPS tire sealants to help them keep a lid on their skyrocketing vehicle operating costs." Farkhan went on to point out that tire-related costs were usually among the top three costs of commercial fleet operations, along with fuel and salaries. "Premature wear due to under-inflation or out-of-balance tire/wheel assemblies, flat tires due to punctures from road debris - the use of Ride-On TPS tire sealants substantially reduces such costly, time-consuming and dangerous events," added Farkhan.
