Retreading

It’s a number of years since we took the opportunity to talk to Finnish tyre manufacturer Nokian Tyres about their role in the global truck tyre market.

With close to a million units sold, the Nokian Hakkapeliitta Truck E tyres and compatible Noktop Hakkapeliitta E retreading materials have been a benchmark for winter traction tyres for over a decade. While the grip, safety and comfort of the original Nokian Hakkapeliitta Truck E is still hard to beat, the new demands set by changing work, trucks and legislation call for an improved version.

Marangoni Retreading Systems has announced the latest addition to its RINGTREAD “MIX” family, the product range created to meet the needs of users in the on/off segment.

In transportation industry, product development never stops and with that in mind heavier trucks require the tyres to match, and new tyre product lines call for matching tyre retreading materials.

Dubai/London based tyre wholesaler Zenises Group has acquired the UK based retreader Vacu-Lug.

Bridgestone belief in the commercial retread sector and continued investment in its range of products is beginning to reap rewards.

Tructyre has announced that the new trailer BVC tyre has been incorporated into their RE-TRAK range. Find out more here on our website.

Production of Hankook’s Alphatread truck tyre range has begun at the Vacu-Lug factory located in Grantham.

Vacu-Lug’s presence at this year’s CV Show focused on showing the Grantham based company to be much more than a leading retreader.

Vacu-Lug and Magna Tyres Group signed an official agreement for the distribution of Magna OTR & Port Handling and MTP OTR Tyres in the United Kingdom.
