Marangoni celebrates 20 years in Brazil

As of 24 April, the Marangoni factory in Brazil is 20 years old. Inaugurated in 2001, the plant in Minas Gerais state was instrumental in introducing the Ringtread system to markets throughout Latin America, and as such has fulfilled Marangoni’s mission of providing tyre retreaders and their customers with “a higher quality product” suited to a continent that’s home to one of the world’s largest road networks.

“It’s twenty years delivering new life for truck and bus tyres in Brazil and Latin America, and we’re proud to deliver high-quality products, with the credibility and trust that Marangoni has around the world,” comments Giacomo Melotti, chief executive officer of Marangoni’s Brazilian unit. “It’s a date we celebrate by being on every road in the country, with products travelling countless kilometres to every corner of the continent. This is what drives us to keep developing solutions more and more complete and sustainable.”

Marangoni says it continues to invest in its facility in Brazil in order to provide new products and technologies that will allow it to constantly renewing its mission to deliver the best tyre retreading materials.

From bomb shelter to technological leadership

In an anniversary message delivered to the company’s team in Brazil, Marangoni Group chairman Vittorio Marangoni stated: “From the retreading of tyres in an abandoned bomb shelter after the Second World War to a world technological leadership. This is, in short, the history of our group. Marangoni arrived in Brazil in 2001 and built from scratch a reality that has established itself and has been able to be appreciated. Now Marangoni Tread Latino America celebrates 20 years after its foundation and we wish it a long life full of success and satisfaction. I want to thank all those who believed in this and made this achievement possible.”

A retreading revolution

Marangoni considers Ringtread a “revolutionary retreading system” that offers “the most advanced pre-cure technology for the retreading of truck and bus tyres.” It adds that the Ringtread system results in a “completely different” retread from any other system, one that offers “an excellent cost-benefit ratio for the customer and superior quality able to match or even exceed the performance and reliability of a new high-quality tyre.”
