Apollo launches Alnac 4G all season and winter tyres

, ,

With its sights set on gaining a bigger part of the European tyre market, on 27 May Apollo Tyres introduced two new tyres in Essen. The two new tyres, Apollo Alnac 4G All Season and Apollo Alnac 4G Winter tyres, joined to the existing range of Apollo Alnac 4G tyres being sold in Europe. Both tyres were developed in Apollo Tyres’ Global R&D Centre in the Netherlands and have been optimised to suit the requirements of European drivers and the European road network. While this was going on in the foreground, in the background the company has been involved in complex discussions relating to its much publicised plans to build an Eastern European factory. To this end Tyres & Accessories spoke with chief marketing officer Marco Paracciani. But first the new products…

Nexen gearing up for greater European presence

, ,

A lot has been going on at Nexen this year. Much of this activity has been taking place within the European market. And more still was going on during the weeks before, during and after the Essen Show.

Less than two weeks before the exhibition opened the company highlighted its recent progress with first quarter results punching above the company’s weight. During the exhibition the company was ostensibly there to display examples from its range and launch three new products – the N’blue HD Plus, Winguard SnowG and Winguard WT1(see textbox for more about what was actually presented in Essen). But it quickly transpired that there is more than this going on.

The Genesis of Zenises

, ,

Mid-way through the Essen Show, the people behind one of the largest plots in hall three (home to the Infinity, Westlake and Linglong brands) announced that they are changing their corporate identity. And while this did mean the unveiling of a Zenises logo and a new range of Z branded tyres, speaking to chief executive officer Harjeev Kandhari reveals that the concept goes far further than this.

New products aplenty at Kumho’s Reifen stand

Kumho Tire used this year’s Reifen show for a number of global premieres. The Korean tyre maker introduced the new all-season Kumho Solus HA31, which will enter the market in autumn and gradually replace the Solus Vier KH21. The new range will be available in a total of 35 sizes for 13 to 16-inch rim diameters and 80 to 50 profiles. Compared with the predecessor tyre, Kumho claims marked improvements in key performance areas, including wet handling and braking on snow. And while the Solus HA31 demonstrates Kumho’s interest in the growing all-season segment, the tyre maker also presented a new dedicated winter product at Reifen.

Triangle takes westward steps

, ,

China-based Triangle Group Co. Ltd. may already be the world’s 15th largest tyre manufacturer, according to Tyres & Accessories’ latest global tyre manufacturer ranking, but it is clear that the company is intending to go far further than this. Rhetoric to this effect is not uncommon amongst Far Eastern businesses, but as is always the case, actions speak louder than words. With its latest appearance in Essen Triangle has begun fleshing out its plans to take the company from being a Chinese manufacturer with export sales to being a large international manufacturer with global reach.

Starco brings heavy, FLT tyres to Essen

It has been interesting to watch Starco’s progression as a company through its presence at the last few Reifen shows. The Starco stands at each exhibition have reflected the Danish company’s expansion from a small tyre specialist through to an agricultural tyre and wheel supplier and maker and then to a manufacturer of industrial tyres. At Reifen 2014, Starco was intent on doing business.
