With NTD's integration, Groupe Touchette now: - Employs close to 1,600 staff nationwide - Operates a coast-to-coast distribution network - Offers a comprehensive product platform tailored to customer needs - Implements technology for efficiency and sustainability - Expands product categories The acquisition enhances Groupe Touchette's retail banner options, now including Tirecraft, Tireland/Ici Pneu, Integra Tire, and Pneu Select, totaling over 900 locations. The company remains headquartered in Montreal, with a national support center in Burlington, Ontario. The deal also establishes a commercial partnership with ATD, supplying proprietary tires and technology to benefit stakeholders. Jefferies LLC advised Groupe Touchette on the transaction, with legal counsel provided by Dentons Canada LLP and Prévost Fortin D'Aoust LLP. Ernst and Young and Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP assisted with financing.
