US and Italian Tyre Retreaders to Cooperate

The Associazione Italiana Ricostruttori Pneumatici (known to its friends as AIRP) and the Tire Retread and Repair Information Bureau (TRIB, to you) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to cooperate with each other for the mutual benefit of the retread and tyre repairing industries. The agreement extends to activities both within Italy and many other countries worldwide.

The memorandum sets out plans for the two organisations to exchange market and technical information; to assist visits of delegations; to collaborate on exhibitions and conferences; to waive publisher restrictions on each board’s research articles; and to strengthen the ties between the respective boards’ members. The agreement was signed on 21 May, 2009 in Bologna, Italy by AIRP president Stefano Carloni and TRIB MD Harvey Brodsky. “Having known our friends at AIRP for many years and having admired their ongoing dedication to improving our industry, we are very happy to join with them for our mutual benefit,” concluded the latter.
