Bandag Dealer Network Expands in Australia and NZ
A significant expansion of the Bandag Manufacturing network in New Zealand will take place following the announced conversion of three Bridgestone New Zealand factories to Bandag. New Zealand customers are currently serviced by two independent Bandag franchises; C.O Tyres and Tyre Retreaders. These established Bandag franchises have helped the company grow in New Zealand and, reports Bridgestone, will continue to enhance Bandag’s marketplace reputation.
In the latter part of 2008, Bridgestone’s three retread factories in Auckland, Rotorua and Christchurch will be refitted with state-of-the-art Bandag retread equipment and the current retread process systems will be streamlined. The net result of this, says Bridgestone, will be an enhanced network providing quality retread tyres and services.
