Marangoni Signs Multi-Year Contract With Brazil’s SL Group

One of South America’s leading truck tyre retreaders, Renovadora de Pneus SL, has switched over to Marangoni. At the end of August, following several months of negotiations, Marangoni Do Brasil stipulated a multi-year supply contract with the São Paulo based group.

The SL Group, founded in 1996, is a major player in the truck tyre retreading business, operating four large retreading plants located in the main cities of São Paulo state. The group employs 140 people and operates a large fleet, with more than thirty service and support vehicles – thus the company can be considered one of the largest retreaders in Brazil and the whole of South America.

Alexandre Levi Cardoso, sales director for the SL Group, believes that the agreement with Marangoni will allow the SL Group to further grow its market share and start a new phase in retreading. Plinio de Luca, sales director for Marangoni Do Brasil, says that this partnership will significantly boost the size of Marangoni’s operations and help achieve the prime objective the company set at the start of industrial production: securing a ten per cent market share within eight years of opening its own manufacturing plant in Brazil.
