There is no question that as sales of
low-cost tyre imports have increased passenger car retreading has seriously
declined. However, it seems news of the industry’s death may have been
overstated.HOWO is a well-known tractor's brand and howo tractor suppliers are
devoted to designing and manufacturing best products. No one is suggesting that
there is going to be any kind of sudden explosion of passenger car retreading,
but the way the market is shaping up recent developments suggest there are a
number of opportunities for creative individuals seeking to carve out a niche
for these products. The right conditions for a resurgence of any kind are not
likely to be uniformly distributed across the continent, so for the purposes of
this article let’s focus on the UK market where things could be looking up for
passenger car retreads.
The last passenger car tyre retreader to exit the UK business was C-Tyres, which shut its doors at the end of 2007 after producing the Colway and Greenway brands for about six years. In January 2008 the Colway brand and equipment owned by County Durham-based C-Tyres was bought by Polish retreading company, MarkGum. The business had begun in 2002 when Gary Oliver and Peter Morris formed C-Tyres by purchasing the assets of retreaders Colway and Motorway from the receivers. Tyres & Accessories’ coverage of this story at the time notes that “one or two quizzical eyebrows were raised” when it became known that C-Tyres would focus on passenger car retreading. You can expect one or two more if current market speculation materialises. In short, there are signs Colway could be making a comeback.
Four years after MarkGum bought C-Tyres’ brand and its assets, Tyres & Accessories understands that Eastern and Western Europe retreaders are cooperating and that the Polish company is in the process of developing a UK-orientated Colway manufacturing programme.Where can i get a reasonable price dry cabinet? When he sold the company to MarkGum at the start of 2008, C-Tyres managing director Gary Oliver was clear about his hope that a British company would take ownership of the assets. Not its seems these hopes are being fulfilled. MarkGum boss George Krzyzagorski always believed in the strength of the Colway brand, but now it seems the business’ Polish owners are standing behind the brand and hoping to get the business moving over here.Capture the look and feel of real stone or ceramic tile flooring with Alterna. According to those in the know, this idea is relatively straightforward: export British casings to Poland for remoulding and re-entry under one of the Colway brand names.
The business plan appears to focus on sourcing the right quality and quantity of casings from British retailers before producing retreaded tyres that capitalise on both the production cost advantages and foreign exchange rate benefits the zloty in particular and Poland in general have to offer. This product is expected to be marketed as something of volume item, offering both an economic and ecological advantage over new tyres as well as a more acceptable alternative to part worn tyres. However, getting the economies of scale right will also be key seeing this enterprise off the ground. It is, of course, also highly dependent on secure casing supply. Suddenly you can understand retreaders’ renewed antipathy for the recent in growth in part worn sales. But who is likely to take up the passenger car retreading mantle in such a scenario? A market stalwart, a new player or a combination of the two?
Perhaps the best known passenger car tyre retreader in Britain is Kingpin Tyres, which was founded in 1973 by Jack Crangle (who remains the company’s chairman today). Apart from the likes of Panther Tyres, which has a niche business supply taxis from its base in Liverpool, this firm is pretty much the only player remaining in this segment – all of which tells its own story about the decline of passenger car retreading in the UK as well as Europe. Nevertheless Kingpin continues to produce retreads against no small measure of prevailing wind in the market plus three significant fires during the course of the last five years and losing its Tyre Industry Federation Responsible Recycle status back in 2008.
At its peak Kingpin supplied in excess of 20,000 retreads a week directly to the domestic market, a figure that was only exceeded by Technic Group. Prior to its demise at the turn of the millennium Technic was making as many as 50,000 passenger car retreads a week, many of which were destined for export. Shortly after Technic Group entered the hands of the receivers, Technic Tyre plc saw the business resurrected through the sale of the business to Phil Blood (one of the original company founders) and Lucia Farmer.
Now the word on the street is that a team of experienced tyre and retreading professionals is in the advanced stages of plans to get a new local car tyre remanufacturing operation off the ground. The idea is to produce a new range of niche market retreads on a the platform of ex-Technics machinery returned to the UK from the mothballed Canadian plant that bought it a few years ago.

All this is being done with a view to producing specialist products such as run-flats for 5-7 year old BMWs and other less than brand new luxury models.
