Michelin Australia is pleased to announce that truck and bus operators in New Zealand will be the first to take advantage of the new Michelin Accredited Retread Factory with MICHELIN Quality System.

Treadco, based in Hamilton, is not only the first factory in New Zealand, it is also the first in Oceania to meet the highest standard of safety, manufacturing, training and environmental consciousness that Michelin expect to ensure the delivery of quality retreaded tyres.

Treadco has worked closely with Michelin over the past 18 months to implement and maintain the new retreading standards required.

By achieving Michelin accreditation they now have access to the very latest in MICHELIN branded tread patterns that are exclusively available for use on MICHELIN casings.

Michelin is very excited by the introduction of MICHELIN retread and MICHELIN Quality Systems. These new initiatives have resulted in the bar being raised in truck and bus tyre retreading.

“Michelin has set the standard required to become an accredited retread factory incredibly high to ensure we deliver our customers the best possible product,” said Kevin Sigston Michelin Retread Manager Australia / New Zealand

“I congratulate the team at Treadco on achieving this accreditation and welcome our new partnership with them.

“The new MICHELIN Retread incorporates the latest tyre technology to deliver significant benefits to truck and bus operators.

“Utilizing the Michelin Multi-Life Strategy it offers operators the lowest cost of ownership, improved safety, high quality and increased reliability backed by Michelin Technical support.

“Operators will also be able to make fuel savings and reduce their environmental impact.”

MICHELIN Retread Standards are second to none and now even better placed in the market to offer the very best in truck tyre solutions for new and retread tyres.
