Kraiburg Updates All Three Ranges to Increase Economy

Kraiburg Austria has updated its K_base, K_tech and K_plus range of products. According to the company, the changes it has made are aimed at attaining: “maximum economic efficiency for all involved.” The retreading specialist has updated the designs, widths and lengths of its cut-to-size tread sections and has added new dimensions in some lines. Some designs have been pared down to just one version, such as the KDR and the KZU+. Others have changed segment in response to customer demands. The K47 bus tread designed for road use has been removed from the K_tech technology line, for example, and added to the all-round K_base line. At the same time, Kraiburg Austria announced the autumn launch of the new KST2/K222 tread for year-round use.

Kraiburg Austria is also shortening of all its long tread sections from 10.5 to approximately 10 metres, with the exception of the cut-to-size sections. The aim of this move is to bring Kraiburg into line with the distribution of market share in modern tyre sizes with circumferences measuring less than 3.30 metres. There are also cut-to-length tread sections geared specifically for designs and widths used for tyre circumferences measuring over 3.35 metres. Kraiburg reports that the shorter version will reduce offcuts and wastage – saving retread partners both time and money. The changeover will take effect as soon as existing stocks have been exhausted.
