Martins Industries has Magnum+ tire balancing beads third-party tested, certified

Feb. 5, 2020
TÜV SÜD, a German firm, tested Magnum+ in December 2019 and approved the product's safety for use with the tire, valves, and TPMS.

Following their recent acquisition of Magnum+, Martins Industries carried out safety tests in order to reassure customers of the safety of using the tempered glass beads in tires. The chosen testing company was TÜV SÜD, a German firm. The tests were performed in December 2019 and the results that came later in January have confirmed that Magnum+ is approved for safe use with the tire, valves, and TPMS.

Magnum+ has numerous attributes that are safe for both the tire and its components:

  • It is unbreakable, according to the company, and it never ends up in particles or dust.
  • It is made of tempered glass and cannot freeze or stick together.
  • It is large enough to never obstruct a valve stem or hinder the work of TPMS.

However, once Martins Industries took over Magnum+ and with the feedback the company got, the team still wanted to take things a step further.

“We found out while discussing internal tire balancing with our partners on the market that some people were still skeptical about it,” said Martin Depelteau, president, Martins Industries. “Hence, we decided to prove it through an independent testing company, TÜV SÜD, the world’s largest automotive certification agency. And voilà, Magnum+ is now the only tire balancing bead in the world approved by TÜV SÜD or any other testing agencies.”

With this milestone attained, Martins Industries feels readier than ever to commercialize Magnum+ at scale. The company also decided to back the product with a satisfaction guarantee.
