LATEST RECACOR HOSTS MARANGONI SALES FORCE MEETING Marangoni RINGTREAD dealer Recacor (Recauchutados Cordoba) recently hosted a meeting in Spain for the European sales force of Marangoni’s Retreading Systems Division.

After the company visit, the Marangoni team gathered amidst the architectural beauty of the Andalusian city for a gala dinner attended by Manolo Moreno, owner of Recacor, and his son Manuel Moreno, the company’s Development Manager. On this occasion, represent- atives of the Spanish company received a plaque from Vittorio Marangoni cel- ebrating 25 years of collaboration, signed by the Marangoni Group Presi- dent himself. Sincerely thanking Marangoni for the gift, Mr Moreno said: “The complete adoption of Marangoni’s ring technol- ogy in our retreading plant has been instrumental in the development of the business and in achieving the leader- ship position that Recacor enjoys. We are proud to have hosted the Marango- ni team and look forward to the coming years of close cooperation.” Recacor ranks among the top retread- ers in Spain, both in terms of production and quality, as well as distribution. The company distributes its products na- tionwide through more than 80 sales outlets.
