Nokian Tyres collaborating with German retreader RuLa-BRW

Nokian Heavy Tyres has entered into a “new era of cooperation” with German retreader RuLa-BRW, which will use the tyre maker’s “innovative Noktop retreading material” in its pre-cure retreading process and offer these tyres to customers in the German market. In addition, RuLa-BRW states that it agreed upon a “strategic cooperation” yesterday during a meeting with representatives from local subsidiary Nokian Tyres GmbH.

“Not only will this strengthen our position in the industry but will also help us to fulfil our customers’ expectations even better,” states the retreader. “We are convinced that the combined expertise and resources of both companies will lead to new successes.” Managing director Detlev Biermann told our German sister site Reifenpresse.de that the strategic cooperation primarily relates to a future partnership involving mould cure retreading. He clarified that the tyre manufacturer will not take a financial stake in RuLa-BRW.
