Marangoni Spa and Borrachas Vipal SA are planning a partnership agreement that will boost synergies and productivity of both groups.
Following through, will create the largest global independent player in the tyre retreading sector.
The project will develop in 2019 and the first phase will involve activities in the Americas.
“We are pleased to finally be able to announce this agreement, which is the first result of the new strategic lines of development we recently adopted,” said Vittorio Marangoni, chairman of the Marangoni Group.
Marangoni produces tread rubber, retreading equipment, rubber compounding and industrial plant engineering. It operates industrial and commercial facilities in Germany, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the US, China, Brazil, Russia, and South Africa.
