Tire Company Expands In Levittown

LEVITTOWN, PA — A Pennsylvania-based tire company has moved a second part of its business from Philadelphia to Levittown.

McCarthy Tire Service has moved its industrial services division to the company's new location on Hartel Avenue in Levittown. The move was effective on Aug. 3.

In June, McCarthy moved its commercial tire business from Bensalem to the Levittown facility. The company renovated the 40,000 square foot building to operate the truck and bus-tire division on one side and the industrial services division on the other.

The industrial portion includes a custom-built foam fill room, a dedicated space for a large industrial tire hydraulic press and an expansive area for industrial tire and track inventory, according to the company.

"Our industrial services division had outgrown the building in Philadelphia," said John D. McCarthy, Jr. "The larger building allowed us to set up a streamlined production area using the best practices we’ve learned in our retread plants. Co-locating our industrial services and our commercial tire center in a site so close to the interstate highways will improve the way we ship and receive product for our customers.”

McCarthy Tire has offered industrial tire services since Joseph J. McCarthy started the company in 1926. It acquired P.J. Dooling Tire Company, of Philadelphia, in 2017.

In addition to its foam filling and tire pressing services, McCarthy now offers rubber tracks, a wheel exchange program and consultation services for customers in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey and northern Virginia.

The company also sells and services industrial tires and tracks for heavy machinery, skid steers, reach and forklifts, stackers and handlers. The equipment is used in manufacturing and production facilities, warehouses and distribution centers, construction sites, ports and airports, military installations, farms, logging sites and waste and recycling centers.
