9 ITMA members in global top 20

ITMA (the International Tyre Manufacturers Association) has highlighted the fact that the latest Tyres & Accessories ranking of the top 20 tyre manufacturers includes nine ITMA members.

ITMA members achieving top 20 manufacturer status were: Sumitomo, Yokohama, Maxxis, Giti, ZC Rubber, Toyo Tires, Kumho Tyres, Sailun Tyres, and Linglong Tyres, while Aeolus Tyres and Triangle were close behind.

ITMA is the only trade association in Europe to exclusively represent the interests of non-European based tyre manufacturers, providing them with essential regulatory expertise and market information. With further amendments anticipated from Brussels in the near future, the importance of ITMA’s guidance and expert advice from in-house technical expert, Gerry Murphy, is set to grow.

ITMA president, Alfred Graham, said: “The number of ITMA members represented in the recently revealed Top 20 tyre manufacturers list reflects the significance of the association to the global tyre industry. ITMA’s role is to keep its members ahead of the game, to be informed not only on what is happening but what may also be on the horizon. We congratulate those members who made the Top 20 this year and look forward to seeing our other members achieve the same ranking in next year’s list.”
