DMACK, the parent company of DMACK Holdings Ltd., is a Rovereto, Italy, based tyre manufacturer which started as a company based in Carlisle, United Kingdom.
History
DMACK was founded in 2008 by Dick Cormack to deliver smaller tyre sizes than the ones supplied by industry giants, such as Michelin and Goodyear, specifically for the rally market.
Proposed UK factory
DMACK worked with Lehman Lee & Xu, the British government, and local authorities in its plans to build a tyre factory near Carlisle, England. The facility was scheduled to be complete by the end of 2017. It was speculated that it could bring up to 500 jobs when production is up to full scale. Its goal was to manufacture 2 million tyres a year, mostly for motorsport specialist markets.[1] By 2019 Dick Cormack confirmed that the plans for the factory in the UK had been scrapped due to a cancelled investment deal.[2]
