Fourth category added to Reifen Innovation Awards

Reifen show organiser Messe Essen reports that this year a fourth category is being added to the so-called ‘tyre industry oscars’, the Innovation Awards jointly bestowed by Messe Essen and main sponsor the BRV (Germany’s tyre trade and vulcanisers’ association) alongside the biennial trade exhibition. This new category is Motor Vehicle Service, which joins the existing Technology & Products, Service Concepts & Process Optimisation and Environmental & Resource Conservation awards in 2014. Messe Essen is accepting award recipient nominations until 31 March.

“The Tire Cologne” – details of show to rival “Reifen” announced

, ,

Between 29 May and 1 June 2018, a new exhibition aimed at the international tyre industry will take place in Germany. “The Tire Cologne”, as the show will be called, will be supported by current Reifen show main sponsor the BRV (the German Federal Association of the Tyre Trade and the Vulcanisers’ Skilled Trade), and the plan is to hold the event every two years. Regular Reifen exhibition visitors may already note that the dates for The Tire Cologne coincide with this year’s show week in Essen and, presumably, those planned for future events – a sign that the BRV and Koelnmesse consider the future Cologne trade exhibition the heir apparent to the European tyre show throne.

Reifen show move not linked to Essen site plans

,

As reported yesterday, The Reifen show looks set to find a new home in Cologne from 2018 onwards. The reason local publication the Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung gave for this change of location after half a century in the German city of Essen was the local referendum on renovation plans for the Messe Essen site – 50.4 per cent of residents voted against the €120 million investment to modernise the exhibition facility. However our German sister publication Neue Reifenzeitung has learned that the move to Cologne would have occurred no matter what the referendum’s outcome was.

Reifen-Seher sold to Bridgestone’s First Stop

Reifen-Seher, an independent tyre company with 17 outlets and a turnover of about 25 Million euros has been sold to Bridgestone, report sources close to the company.

Reifen-Seher’s headquarters are based in Friedberg/Hessen. The company runs all of its outlets in the Frankfurt/am Main area.

It is thought that Seher ran into financial trouble two years ago, but at the time was strong enough to overcome the problems which might have eventually led to the decision to sell.

Peter Seher still stands as president of the German Tyre Dealer Association, his BRV term ends at the end of this month. Seher announced his departure as president some weeks ago.

Fulda Will Not Be At Reifen 2002

After Michelin and Bridgestone, Gummiwerke Fulda is the latest company to announce that it will not be attending the Reifen 2002 show. Peter Hülzer, managing director of the German dealer association BRV, was extremely disappointed, saying that MD Hoffmann had told him two weeks ago that Gummiwerke Fulda would definitely participate. It seems to be unavoidable now that the Association, the dealers and manufacturers will come together to discuss the future of one of the best tyre shows in the world. For Reifen 2002 the impact seems to be limited, as according to press comments from the organisers, the show is more or less sold out.

BRV Meeting In Weimar – “The Future Used To Be Better”

The BRV invited its members to attend its annual meeting in Weimar, historically one of the most famous cities in Eastern Germany. BRV President Ludwig did not have only good things to talk about, as he believes that margins will fall even further and the tyre trade cannot afford more pressure on margins. He mentioned Michelin and Goodyear as brands sold to car dealers at prices which are unrealistic and, due to the fact that tyre dealers have not been successful in the fast-fit field, President Ludwig urged tyre manufacturers to give tyre dealers better buying prices than car dealers. The association also expressed concern that tyre manufacturers might establish direct selling contacts with big fleets.
