Retreaders Have to Adjust Service and Product Portfolio
The new tyre industry’s continued push into international and national fleet business and thus into the retreading business will very likely lead to an increased market polarisation between these companies and independent players participating in this market. The major material supplier, Gummiwerk Kraiburg Austria, has identified the prospects and risks attached to this development, according to Frank Gregory, new sales director within the company’s “Retreading materials” business unit. Talking to Tyres & Accessories, Mr Gregory announced an adjustment to Kraiburg Austria’s business model, but did not disclose specific details.
