This strategic transaction, which strengthens Unimax’s position in the market, is expected to be finalized on April 30, 2025.

Founded in 1991, RSSW is renowned for its comprehensive inventory of alloy and steel wheels.

RSSW’s operations will continue to operate autonomously and will enhance the product offerings provided by Unimax to its clientele.

“My brother Claude-André Pouliot and I are very pleased to ensure the sustainability, development, and future growth of RSSW,” said Jean-François Pouliot, Chairman of the Board of Macpek.

“This acquisition supports our vision of being a leader in Canada in tire distribution by adding this relevant offering of complementary products for our customers.
