Malaysian Retreaders Increase Prices

The Tyre Retreading Manufacturers’ Association of Malaysia (TRMAM) has warned customers to expect a 10 to 15 per cent price increase for tyre retreading. In a statement, TRMAM said the move is necessary in view of the dramatic increase in prices of raw materials, especially natural rubber, synthetic rubber and carbon black. “The situation is exacerbated by significant increases in fuel cost and electricity rates, which substantially add to retreaders’ operating costs,” the statement added. However, even with the impending price increase, Malaysian retreads are still significantly lower than most neighbouring markets in the region, including China, Malaysia’s Business Times reported.

Plenty of News But Just One Subject

This year’s tyre exhibition saw Bandag release quite a lot of news coming from the new product department. But what was most interesting for the international press as well as for customers, was Bandag’s future in the European fleet business after its biggest customer (GE/TIP) left. Although marketing director Danny van Essche confirmed that Bandag is going to remain active in the European fleet business, the company is said to have learned a lesson by GE/TIP’s retreat. This lesson will be used to adapt Bandag’s business strategy in a positive way: “We will not aggressively pursue international fleet business anymore.”

Kraiburg Retreads for When the Going Gets Really Tough

Retreads working in one of the most extreme applications imaginable – is this possible? In conjunction with its Italian partner Ghelardini, retreading specialist Kraiburg has proven that it is possible to marry up these two apparent opposites, and highly successfully. One fact that demonstrates this is that today virtually 80 per cent of all retreaded tyres used in the marble quarries in Carrara, Italy, run on Kraiburg compounds. And the customers are more than satisfied with the performance of these retreaded tyres.

EU Now Recovers More Tyres than US

In a complete reversal of the situation a decade ago, the tyre recovery rate is now higher in many parts of the EU than in the USA, according to the Bureau of International Recycling’s (BIR) Tyres committee. Bureau chairman, Barend Ten Bruggencate of The Netherlands told committee members meeting in Beijing that landfills had consumed 62 per cent of the EU’s scrap tyres as recently as 1994 and yet this figure had plummeted to 20 per cent by 2004 when some 3.213 million tonnes of used tyres were recovered across the 25 member states.

Matador Extends Casing Warranty to Include Second-life with Bandag

Slovakian tyre manufacturer Matador has decided to extend the warranty on its casings to a second tyre life when its products are retreaded by a Bandag Dealer in Slovakia, Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic. Matador now recommends Bandag for the second life of its casings.

The collaboration with Bandag dealers streamlines the truck-tyre division of the Púchov-based manufacturer. Matador and Bandag have been operating in the same Eastern European countries for many years, going to market with complementary products and skills. The extended casing warranty for Bandag retreading is a logical next step towards providing end-users with cost-effective tyre solutions.
