As part of this process, in March 2019, CLINV inaugurated new headquarters in Quito, which, with an area of 1.000 m2, offered the company the opportunity to enlarge the space available for the company’s office and warehouse.

This made for an easy choice to continue with VMI as a long-term partner.” The acquisition of a cushion gum extruder is among the top priorities of a retread shop, when going for high quality grades.
