    MASSILLON, Ohio (Oct. 10, 2016) — Standards Testing Laboratories Inc. (STL) will hold its 2016 Tire Technology Seminar Oct. 18-20 at its headquarters in Massillon.

    • Major service issues facing the industry;
    • The basics of tire uniformity and rolling resistance; and
    • An overview of wheels, their types and how they are manufactured and tested.

    In addition, participants will tour the testing labs at STL's facility for a first-hand look at equipment and methodology and will have the opportunity to participate in Q&A sessions throughout the course.

    Registration is $1,250 and includes admission to the conference, all materials, three luncheons, an evening banquet and refreshments throughout the three-day course.

    Interested parties may register by emailing Cheryl Schnuth, vice president of marketing and technical services, at [email protected].
