Episode 26 of The Retreadcast is one of our favourite’s as we had the opportunity to speak to one of the leading lights in the tyre sector in Continental.
Continental Appear on the Retreadcast
Users far outside the tyre industry will have no trouble recognising the Continental name, so we were delighted to speak to Ralf Benack, Head of Fleet Solutions EMEA for Continental on the manufacturer’s approach to retreading and how they see it as a key pillar in their overall fleet offering.
We also react to the latest news regarding the anti-dumping investigation by the European Union and have news regarding the Recircle Awards and Tyrexpo Asia Retreading Conference.
