RMA Representing Tyre Manufacturers Only

The RMA said it has “successfully completed” its reorganization and is now a tyres-only trade group, reports Tire Review. Earlier this year, RMA’s board of directors approved a plan to restructure the organization to better serve the interests of its membership. The restructuring resulted in two separate organizations – one that represents tyre manufacturers and one to serve the needs of elastomer products manufacturers. Each organization is an independent 501(c)(6) trade association with its own board, officers, budget and management.

“The restructured RMA will bring an intense focus to the pressing regulatory and legislative needs of the US tyre manufacturing industry,” said Charles Cannon, RMA president and CEO. “The host of general issues that impact the elastomer products sector will be handled by a new organization, the Association for Rubber Products Manufacturers.”
