should contribute to these activities and how to make non- members contribute, should they eventually wish to become certified to the new Standard. The development of the Standard will cost ARNEC 3.5 million Pesos – half of the total cost of 7 million Pesos. Meanwhile, the total cost of the APL is 99 million Pesos – 25 million for the diagnostic stage, 44 million for the implementation and 25 million for the certification process. Some of these costs will be subsidised by the Chilean Government but not all of it. The discussion during the meeting was about the funding of the negotiation phase. 30% of the 44 million has to be funded by ARNEC. 9% of the total (4 million Pesos) has to be paid in
Daniel Rojas, General Manager of ARNEC
The 2015 General Assembly of ARNEC, the Chilean Retreaders Association, took place on Thursday 22nd October in the hotel Diego de Almagro at Santiago Airport. There were 17 attendees at the meeting representing 11 f the 13 retreader members from all over Chile.
Daniel Rojas Enos, General Manager of the Association, officially announced the directors appointed for the two year period effective from 1 May 2015. He confirmed the appointment of Dario Andreani of INSAMAR as President, Maria Victoria Llach as Vice President, Eduardo Acosta as Secretary, Jorge Torfan-Bdewi as Treasurer and Antonio Collao and Leonardo Ortiz as additional board members.
Subjects discussed included a number of key issues, in particular the new retreading standard developed with the
ARNEC and there were some fairly vigorous discussions about how much individual members
cash.
The meeting also discussed the production figures provided to the Association by the individual members. Rather unusually for tyre industry trade associations, individual production figures were provided. This, says Daniel Rojas, was to try to move away from the idea of everyone being against each other.
Figures Provided showed Llach as the largest retreader with ca. 27,000 tyres per annum, followed by Neumaservicio on 22,000, Irenesa (17,000), Nepex (16,000), Triggs (15,000) and Insamar (15,000). Only one of the retreaders did not provide figures.
