“In a competitive, constantly evolving industry such as that of truck and bus tyres, it is only through excellence, commitment, and teamwork that we can maintain the competitive advantage of our companies, thereby creating value for the transport fleets,” Ramôamentions in his acceptance speech.
“Drawing on its experience, the support of a dedicated partner such as Marangoni and the quality of its materials for retreading, Recauchutagem Ramôa is now ready to take on new challenges and lay the foundations for further future development.”
The Portuguese company was established in August 1968, and has been in the tyre industry for 50 years, also dealing with TBR tyre retreading using Marangoni’s RINGTREAD system.
