European Focus for Russia’s Largest Agri Tyre Producer

Sibur-Russian Tyres (SRT) is a large manufacturer in a large country. As Russia’s largest producer of agricultural tyres, SRT claims to supply 70 per cent of the vast domestic market. But domestic supply is only part of the SRT story. In recent years the volume of OTR tyres exported has also increased to upwards of half a million units, and the company predicts that for 2006 OTR exports will account for 50 per cent of production.

Riverstone Concentrates on Commercial Tyres

For the Chinese Tire Group of Factories Ltd., Inc, the CITExpo is always is like a home match because it has distribution offices in Shanghai as well production facilities in Shandong province. On the other hand, the manufacturer of the Riverstone tyre brand sells about 100 per cent of its tyres on export markets, says sales representative Rebecca Zhang. Thus the Tire Group of Factories can also benefit from the increasing reputation of the CITExpo show among international visitors. However, the company didn’t present its products on a large scale during the show because it had booked only a very small cubicle. Two truck tyres and some posters would have been enough to do the job, those in charge at the Tire Group of Factories must have thought.

Linglong Sets Itself Ambitious Goals

For a company like Shandong Linglong Rubber Co., Ltd. presence at the CITExpo is obligatory. In the past other major Chinese manufacturers like Giti Tire or Chengshan used the CITExpo for their purposes. This year Linglong was by far the biggest manufacturer exhibiting at the Shanghai tyre show with all the other tyre majors missing. For export manager Merry Wang this doens’t mean that Linglong has to act like its competitors. On the contrary: “We want to build a brand,” she says with self-confidence.

Sibur-Russian Tires: Lone Fighter in Essen

,

Market observers agree that the Russian and Eastern European markets are not only interesting for Western manufacturers, but vice versa as well. However, this belief wasn’t reflected in the number of Russian exhibitors that were present at this year’s Reifen show. Polite visitors counted 1.5 Russian exhibitors in Essen. Those who see Vredestein as a Russian company now managed to count two. For Russian manufacturer Sibur-Russian Tires (SRT) the Reifen exhibition definitely was a required course, according to Igor Karavaev, strategy and business development director. Right now the Russian company is looking for a potential joint venture partner abroad and also wants to increase its exports to the European markets. Consequently, SRT’s stand mainly featured the latest flagship product – the new Cordiant brand.
