Master Lock and Thule formed a strategic partnership. The companies will distribute each other’s existing products to their respective customers, and will collaborate to develop and market new innovations. As a result of this partnership, each company will offer their customers a comprehensive line of hitches, trailer balls and ball mounts, locking towing accessories, trailer lighting and electrical components, and heavy duty towing systems.

“This partnership provides customers with the convenience of buying a full range of products from one vendor with one order and one invoice,” commented Don Spradlin, General Manager Automotive for Master Lock. “Our customers will benefit from having access to the best products from each company’s product lines.”

“We are excited by the opportunity to combine Master Lock’s innovative vehicle and towing security products with Valley’s full line of towing systems,” stated Anders Nordin, Vice President of Marketing for Thule Towing Systems. “Until now, customers wanting to buy all of their towing related products from one supplier had few alternatives. This partnership gives customers more choice,” continued Nordin.
