Prometeon Tyre Group has appointed Yuan Liang to the role of acting General Manager. At the same time the tyre maker shares that Roberto Righi has “stepped down as General Manager and left the company.”
Prometeon Tyre Group is now at home in a new headquarters in Milan, Italy. The company now operates out of the SuperLab building in the Bicocca district.
It may not produce motorcycle tyres, but Prometeon Tyre Group benefits from the exposure the Pirelli brand gains as top sponsor and tyre supplier to WorldSBK. Prometeon also took on WorldSBK official sponsorship in April 2022 and now seeks to further raise its profile amongst those who enjoy riding fast on two wheels by becoming co-title sponsor of the Yamaha WorldSBK team.
Prometeon is introducing a new generation of Pirelli-branded truck tyres, with five product lines for long haul, regional, urban and construction site applications arriving in EMEA markets early April. The range includes the first long haul Prometeon tyre with an EU label A rating for fuel efficiency.
Prometeon Tyre Group has named Roberto Righi as deputy general manager. The appointment, which takes effect immediately, means Righi will report directly to the board of directors.
The long-standing agreement between Dorna WorldSBK Organization and Pirelli has will continue for at least an additional three years. The tyre maker has been confirmed as official tyre supplier to all classes of the Motul FIM Superbike World Championship up to and including the 2023 season.
