Retread, recycle, repair - Kal Tire discusses the 'three Rs'

摘要

It's now more than two years since the Kal Tire Mining Tire Group acquired a majority shareholding in Derbyshire-based OTR Tyres, and the company says retreading at its Alfreton facility shows that despite increasing raw material costs and a major shortage of good, retreadable casings, demand for a quality product still exists. In the past 12 months Kal Tire's UK retreading plant utilised in excess of 1.3million pounds (590,000 kilogrammes) of rubber compound in the retreading of more than 3,000 off-the-road tyres.
