It owns 37 acres of well-kept rubber estate having big valuation at Valavoor in Meenachil taluk. The company has been registered as per company and co-operative laws and it has an audited annual balance sheet,” KM Mani told local newspapers.

Michelin Records Increased 3Q Revenues

/in

Michelin has reported a 4.9 per cent rise in third-quarter revenues as a result of charging increased prices. Revenue rose to 4.08 billion euros ($5.12 billion) for the three months ended 30 September from 3.89 billion euros a year earlier. The latest figure was slightly above analysts’ expectations of approximately 4.04 billion euros ($5.07 billion). The recent decline in raw material prices will have only a small impact on full-year earnings, the company said.

Chinese Manufacturers Focus on OTR Tyres

/in ,

Chinese manufacturers want to and, in fact, already are benefiting from strong international demand for OTR tyres. One company that follows these lines very closely is the China Noble OTR Tyre Co., Ltd. When at the turn of the century it was becoming more evident that there was going to be a strong growth on the profitable OTR tyre market, Noble Tyre decided to jump on the bandwagon. The company’s co-founder Sky Zhuang said in an interview with Tyres & Accessories that this was the time when Noble decided to change its production plans.

Kraiburg Recommends Winter Tread Designs

/in

The trend of changing to special winter tyres in the cold season is also increasing in the European commercial vehicle sector, according to Kraiburg Austria. According to demand from the retreading material supplier, it is not just the experienced winter users that now recognise the advantages of a powerful traction tyre, with which they can safely travel through deep snow. In addition to customers in the Alpine regions of Germany, Austria and Switzerland and even Scandinavia, the so-called “lowlanders” are changing more and more from all-season tyres to “genuine” winter tyres. One reason for this is the recent change in German law (StVO (German Road Traffic Regulations) § 2, para. 3a), which could put the insurance cover at risk or make it necessary to bear potential expenses, should the tyres be seen as the cause of accidents or traffic-jams when used under winter road conditions.
