Bluffton resident Greg Ring, director of training and development at K&M Tire, Delphos, was recently featured in a front page story about K&M in "Tire Business," the bi-weekly tire dealer trade newspaper.

Ring addressed tire dealers during the Delphos wholesale distributor’s 2019 dealer conference held in Dallas, Texas. His photo was the feature photo of the issue accompanying the story.

Over 1,000 persons representing 500 different dealer locations plus 45 vendors attended K&M’s dealer conference.

The story quoted Ring speaking to dealers: “We are dedicated to getting better, work together and harder to help you grow your business.”

He added that all success in business greatly depends on relationships.

“At K&M we feel fortunate that we have relationships with the absolute best of the best – the best products, the greatest technology and the best vendor-supplier partnership in the industry.”

In his overview of the company during the opening session he noted that K&M has 2.4 million square feet of warehouse space to stock tires that you (dealers) want.

In 2018 the Delphos company added nearly 80 positions, bringing its number of employees to 730.

Ring has served as director of training and development at K&M for nearly four years. Prior to that he was senior account executive for 13 of his 18 years at Cooper Tire, Findlay.
