In the brief time since its launch, the Linglong Grip Master Winter range has grown to 70 sizes, with dimensions available for 14- to 20-inch rim diameters, cross-sections of 35 to 75 and tread widths of 165 to 315 mm in the speed ranges T, H, V and W. Furthermore, Linglong Tire intends to introduce an additional 30 sizes next year.
Linglong became the first Chinese tyremaker to start producing tyres in Europe when it opened the doors to its Serbia facility in February. Since then, the company has continued to expand its European operations and most recently appointed Wolf Fuder as Head of Marketing Europe based within the Linglong Germany GmbH operation.
At the end of this month, Wolf Fuder will end his tenure as Head of Marketing at Kumho Tire Europe, a role held since March 2007. Fuder joined the Offenbach, Germany-based subsidiary in October 2006.
