Pelmar Engineering Buys Most Of Traiskirchen Machinery
Machinery at the Semperit factory in Traiskirchen, Austria, was auctioned off recently, with most of it purchased by Israeli company Pelmar Engineering Ltd.; one of the world’s largest dealers in new and used tyre machinery. The auction raised around $2 million and, among the equipment acquired by Pelmar, were off the road curing presses and tyre building equipment. Traiskirchen will continue to supply the Continental group with custom compounds, rubberised steel cord and rubberised yarns, but tyres are no longer made at the plant.
