Falken Tire
The Challenge
Founded in Japan in 1983 and brought to North America in 1985, Falken Tires has an established product line as a global leader in high-performance tires, but is a newer entrant (12 years old) into the heavy duty tire market. Being a newer player in the heavy duty market, Falken needs a way to introduce their products, build awareness, and to conduct market research in order to grow the brand.

Customer Feedback / Market Research
“At MATS, some of the things we glean out of this show are really what’s important to the trucking industry. What are they looking for, what kind of design are they looking for? It helps us keep pace with not only the market, but keep a leading edge to some of the new technology in the industry.”
Bob Klimm / Falken Tire
Network & Build Relationships
“We’ve participated in MATS for over a decade because it really helps us to get very close to the customer. Some of the best interactions we have is with the end user. We can see with our conversations with truckers what’s important to them. What do they look for and how can we position our product.”
