PORI, Finland — Finnish retreader Lujakumi Oy has agreed to switch its retread production system to the Marangoni Ringtread spliceless process, ending a nearly 50-year relationship with the Bandag system.
Lujakumi Oy Managing Director Hanna Maja cited the need for offering a product that offers lower rolling resistance and higher mileage for the company's decision to convert its Pori retread plant to Marangoni's processes, primarily the Ringtread process.
Lujakumi has been a Bandag system retreader since 1968.
"In our sector…customers are demanding higher efficiency from the products we supply and install,…" Ms. Maja said, stressing the need to provide increased performance and low costs per kilometer to its customers.
