Preview: Tyrexpo Asia 2009

It’s not just an excuse for a spot of sightseeing and the opportunity for some authentic and delicious Asian food…with the Asian tyre industry and market developing at an astonishing rate, those wishing to participate in this region in a serious way really do need to be where the action is. In late March the Tyrexpo Asia exhibition returns to Singapore, this time round joined by the IRSG’s World Rubber Summit. And with the exhibitor list for the 7th Singapore show already topping 120 as of last December, Tyrexpo Asia is, as Paul Farrant, from exhibition organiser ECI, an opportunity to “deliver much-needed vitality and innovation into the global market”. Next month’s Tyres & Accessories presents a preview of the upcoming show.

Old Tyres Never Die…

Regardless of how asymmetric a tyre’s tread is, its green contribution or how many compounds are squeezed into the mix, sooner or later it is going to be removed from the rim and flipped onto the scrap pile. But what for the motorist is the end of the story is for the tyre itself the beginning of a new journey that will see it put to other uses. Follow your old tyres into the ‘afterlife’ in February when we feature the growing sector that deals with tyre collection, recycling and disposal.
