10 Million Tyres Retreaded at Michelin Valladolid
perspective, it makes very good sense to extend the life of the tyres as long as possible. We can now do this either by cutting a new pattern, or with Recamic by putting on a completely new tread,” explained Henrik Fusager, Director of Euromaster Denmark.
“It is clear that it must be done professionally and safely,” he added. “We ensure this with our
collaboration with Vulkan, a family business with expertise in the retreading sector, which was established back in 1963. We are really pleased that we can now offer even more options in retreading truck tyres to Danish customers, and at the same time support Danish workplaces in the knowledge that the tyres are now being produced locally in Randers.”
Michelin has announced that its tyre retreading facility in Valladolid, Spain, has reached a total production of 10 million units since the plant opened in Autumn 1975. The Michelin factory in Valladolid started manufacturing passenger
tyres on October 2, 1973. In early 1975, the second phase of construction of the plant began, including the commissioning of the truck and bus tyre retreading unit, which began production in the autumn of the same year. In July
2020 the figure of 10 million retreaded tyres was reached. Currently over 60 different dimensions of MICHELIN REMIX retreads are produced in Valladolid, destined for Spain, Portugal and France. Most of them are manufactured on a customer’s-own-casing (COC) basis. All tyres manufactured at the plant comply with the UNECE R109 regulation and have the same speed and load indices, as well as the same M + S and 3PMSF markings as the original tyres.
