Reifen Ihle Found Reifen 2012 a Success
According to Reifen Ihle there were fewer visitors at their stand at Essen this year than at the previous event. However, the quality of the contacts made was much improved.
Reifen Ihle made its usual impression with a large and eye- catching stand that focused on the environmental benefits of retreading.
The futuristic Ecomobil was certainly a convincing head turner, that highlighted the philosophy of Reifen Ihle: product quality and increased performance and continuous improvements.
The product portfolio of the largest retreader in Germany ranges from cars, SUVs and light trucks to large trucks, industrial and EM tyres.
In addition, the Ihle tyre storage systems were presented. Ihle has used its many years of experience in the tyre trade to develop a custom designed storage system that ideally suits the industry.
