Pneu Laurent Quits Passenger Retreads

Michelin subsidiary Pneu Laurent has terminated the production of passenger car retreads at its Avallon factory in France. The decision comes exactly 50 years after the company first entered the business. The company’s sales figures have decreased in the past few years due to the low prices of new tyres, particularly those coming from the Far East.

Pneu Laurent maintains that every one of the 22 workers involved in the division will be relocated within the company. It is not the first company to withdraw from the segment and follows Reiff Reifen, which has also ended the production of passenger car retreads due to the declining trend in the market.

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.
