Laurent: Retreads from Germany for the Whole of Europe
Together with its parent company in France, Laurent Reifen GmbH from Germany is Europe’s largest retreader. For more than 50 years the long established company has played a major role in Europe as an industrial retreader. The factory in Oranienburg in the German state of Brandenburg (close to Berlin) has an annual production capacity of more than 200,000 units of retreaded truck and trailer tyres. Furthermore, in Germany as well as in Avallon, France, more than 2,500 pre-cured treads are produced every day. With about 120 different treads in all the major sizes available the company can supply new treads for almost every commercial tyre application. And the German company and its French parent are not only represented in these two countries; Laurent, as a member of the French Michelin group, is also represented in Belgium, Denmark, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Austria and Switzerland.
