Bauma 2022 a Hit for Magna

Magna Tyres took full advantage of the return of Bauma post-pandemic, displaying the company’s trio of OTR tyres – the Magna MU30 mining pattern for underground trucks and wheel loaders, Magna MA60 articulated Dump Truck (ADT) and Magna M-Rigid for Rigid Dump Trucks.
Bauma Success for Magna Tyres
Robert Gruijters, Magna Tyres Head of Marketing says; “The company were well prepared for this long awaited return to Bauma and the six day event went exceptionally smoothly with our booth being constantly busy every day. Our highly professional sales and marketing team met both existing and potentially new customers from around the world including New Zealand, Uruguay, Mozambique and India.
“Traditionally the show has always centred on the European tyre market but now it appears to have become a truly worldwide show.”
The Magna Tyres team also noted an increased number of visitors from the mining industry, whilst also being surprised by the amount of keen interest in their truck tyre range also on display.
Gruiters concluded; “There is no doubt that Bauma 2022 proved to be highly successful for Magna Tyres.”
